Re: XEmacs crash

Oliver> To make it clear - the previous post was *not* from Oliver> Adrian, but from me. Oliver> Oli'How did *that* happen?'ver Interesting.... I can't read it off hand, but that's just Japanese text in the Internet standard ISO-2022-JP encoding. I think it's possible to tell Gnus not to display mail or MIME parts in the ISO-2022-JP encoding, but then you don't get to see the mail at all. You could use a Mule XEmacs, or avoid Gnus. Gnus is not an MUA, it's an Emacs torture test. (I'm half serious---I far prefer VM for mail, but with the exception of my Red Hat Sparc/Linux libc 5 + some 4 + some 6 that I was running in 1998, I've seen more crashes in Gnus than all other contexts combined, so I run Gnus). I'd suggest a full bug report with M-x report-xemacs-bug. Maybe there's something odd about your configuration; I know that several people are using no-Mule XEmacsen 21.4 with Gnus and reading this list. First try a clean replication. Copy the file into a fresh temporary directory somewhere. Restart XEmacs with the -vanilla switch. Start Gnus. Try reading the file as a mailbox, etc (Gnus provides several ways) until you find one that works. See if you crash. Then restart and format and send the report. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
