Peter,
Thanks for your suggestion. I'll take it up (but not today).
After spending the better part of yesterday debugging my problems with
MH and MIME in 21.5.8 and 2002-07-20 packages (I've forgotten a lot of
what I knew about XEmacs and elisp, so I'm slow), I eventually figured
out that mcs-ltn1.el and mcs-ltn1.elc, as distributed, didn't match.
From the sumo tarball:
$ tar jtvf
xemacs-sumo-2002-07-20.tar.bz2 | egrep mcs-ltn1
-rw-r--r-- root/root 2893 2002-07-14 22:58:55
./xemacs-packages/lisp/apel/mcs-ltn1.elc
-rw-r--r-- root/root 3162 2000-07-09 21:41:05
./xemacs-packages/lisp/apel/mcs-ltn1.el
After byte-recompilation:
$ ls -Al /usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/apel/mcs-ltn1*
-rw-r--r-- 1 vladimir vladimir 3162 Jul 31 23:53
/usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/apel/mcs-ltn1.el
-rw-r--r-- 1 vladimir vladimir 3012 Jul 31 23:54
/usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/apel/mcs-ltn1.elc
Note that the sizes of mcs-ltn1.elc differ.
Byte-recompiling mcs-ltn1.el fixed my problem #3, undefined function
`mime-charset-to-coding-system'.
Thanks again.
