25 ;;; Change Log:
27 ;; moved posting and mail code from rnews.el
28 ;; tower@gnu.org Wed Oct 29 1986
29 ;; brought posting code almost up to the revision of RFC 850 for News 2.11
30 ;; - couldn't see handling the special meaning of the Keyword: poster
31 ;; - not worth the code space to support the old A news Title: (which
32 ;; Subject: replaced) and Article-I.D.: (which Message-ID: replaced)
33 ;; tower@gnu.org Nov 86
34 ;; changed C-c C-r key-binding due to rename of news-caesar-buffer-body
35 ;; tower@gnu.org 21 Nov 86
36 ;; added (require 'rnews) tower@gnu.org 22 Apr 87
37 ;; restricted call of news-show-all-headers in news-post-news & news-reply
38 ;; tower@gnu.org 28 Apr 87
39 ;; commented out Posting-Front-End to save USENET bytes tower@gnu.org Jul 31 87
40 ;; commented out -n and -t args in news-inews tower@gnu.org 15 Oct 87
42 ;Now in paths.el.
43 ;(defvar news-inews-program "inews"
44 ; "Function to post news.")
46 ;; Replying and posting news items are done by these functions.
47 ;; imported from rmail and modified to work with rnews ...
48 ;; Mon Mar 25,1985 at 03:07:04 ads@mit-hermes.
49 ;; this is done so that rnews can operate independently from rmail.el and
50 ;; sendmail and doesn't have to autoload these functions.
52 ;;; >> Nuked by Mly to autoload those functions again, as the duplication of
