How are you sucking in the messages? If you want to have raw data, you need to use the 'binary coding system... This should work exactly the same as in FSF Emacs[1]. If you are using insert-file-contents-literally then you need to be aware that is currently broken under XEmacs (as it was in FSF 20.3). My patch for fixing has not made it into a released version yet. However I though gnus already used its own version of insert-file-contents-literally? Jan Footnotes: [1] Apart from the fact that under XEmacs no-conversion an alias for raw-text, so you _need_ to use binary.

But it only needs to be done once. Anyway 30MB is doable. That means it is only diskspace that is the problem which means that CVSup is a real option if only we had a server :-). Jan

I wouldn't bet on it. There are people that cope with compiler bugs just fine, but can't stand various brain-damages inflicted by `configure'.

It interprets the rest of the mailbox as being in the wrong coding system, which will break all kinds of things. I just don't know how to switch those things completely off in XEmacs, so I'm Cc-ing this to the xemacs-beta mailing list. Help?

Thanks.. For the same reason. How big would a bzip2 compressed tarball be. > 15845 ./XEmacs/xemacs/etc > 17011 ./XEmacs/xemacs/src > 13607 ./XEmacs/xemacs/man > 55974 ./XEmacs/xemacs/lisp Most that size is probably for files that have been moved to the packages, isn't it? Apart from that the sizes are actually quite reasonable. Jan

Invalid byte code: "variable reference to constant symbol :group" I thought I'd gotten that error originally from trying to loadd an fsf compiled w3 but have since used xemacs nifty package tools to get the latest and greatest of everything. Somehow that "other" w3 path is creeping in there, plainly visible with C-h v load-path <RET>. Working on that now. PS the hm-html package is not in evidence on ftp.xemacs.org:/pub/xemacs/packages or at least the package tools didn't find it there. I do have it in the "sumo" download though so will try that one.
