Q1.11 What other packages work with Gnus?
Mailcrypt Mailcrypt is an Emacs interface to PGP, written by Patrick LoPresti <patl@lcs.mit.edu> and Jin Choi <jin@atype.com>. It works, it installs without hassle, and integrates very easily. Mailcrypt can be obtained from <URL:http://www.nb.net/~lbudney/linux/software/mailcrypt.html>. Tools for Mime Tools for Mime is an Emacs MUA interface to MIME written by MORIOKA Tomohiko <morioka@jaist.ac.jp>, and KOBAYASHI Shuhei <shuhei-k@jaist.ac.jp>. Note:Do not use TM with Gnus 5.8.x or later. These versions of Gnus have native MIME support and should not try to use an external MIME library. It can be obtained from <URL:ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/GNU/elisp/mime/>. It has mirrors at: <URL:ftp://ftp.nis.co.jp/pub/gnu/emacs-lisp/tm/> (Japan) <URL:ftp://ftp.nisiq.net/pub/gnu/emacs-lisp/tm/> (USA) <URL:ftp://gnus.xemacs.org/pub/mime/jaist.ac.jp/> (USA) <URL:ftp://ftp.unicamp.br/pub/mail/mime/tm/> (Brasil) <URL:ftp://ftp.th-darmstadt.de/pub/editors/GNU-Emacs/lisp/mime/> (Germany) <URL:ftp://ftp.tnt.uni-hannover.de/pub/editors/xemacs/contrib/> (Germany). To use with Gnus add the line (load "mime-setup") to your .emacs file before you initialize Gnus. Alternately, you can use gnus-setup.el to activate tm, bbdb, supercite, and other packages. See Question #2.12 for details. If you are using an XEmacs version of 19.15 or newer, you do not need tm as it is now included standard with XEmacs. Group Lens Group Lens is a collaborative filtering system that helps you work together with other people to find the quality news articles out of the huge volume of news articles generated every day. It was written by Brad Miller <bmiller@cs.umn.edu> as his PhD thesis. It is now distributed as a standard part of Gnus. A copy for Gnus 5 can be obtained at: <URL:http://www.cs.umn.edu/Research/GroupLens/>. Insidious Big Brother Database BBDB is a rolodex-like database program for GNU Emacs created by Jamie Zawinski <jwz@netscape.com> of Netscape fame. Jamie has recently given his blessing to a new version whose primary maintainer is Ronan Waide <waider@waider.ie>. This version is the result of the fork that was maintained by Matt Simmons for some time. The new home of BBDB is <URL:http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/> and considered official and somewhat stable.
