26 ;; This file has been obsolete since Emacs 22.1.
27
28 ;;; Change Log:
29
30 ;; moved posting and mail code from rnews.el
31 ;; tower@gnu.org Wed Oct 29 1986
32 ;; brought posting code almost up to the revision of RFC 850 for News 2.11
33 ;; - couldn't see handling the special meaning of the Keyword: poster
34 ;; - not worth the code space to support the old A news Title: (which
35 ;; Subject: replaced) and Article-I.D.: (which Message-ID: replaced)
36 ;; tower@gnu.org Nov 86
37 ;; changed C-c C-r key-binding due to rename of news-caesar-buffer-body
38 ;; tower@gnu.org 21 Nov 86
39 ;; added (require 'rnews) tower@gnu.org 22 Apr 87
40 ;; restricted call of news-show-all-headers in news-post-news & news-reply
41 ;; tower@gnu.org 28 Apr 87
42 ;; commented out Posting-Front-End to save USENET bytes tower@gnu.org Jul 31 87
43 ;; commented out -n and -t args in news-inews tower@gnu.org 15 Oct 87
44
45 ;Now in paths.el.

51 ;; Mon Mar 25,1985 at 03:07:04 ads@mit-hermes.
52 ;; this is done so that rnews can operate independently from rmail.el and
53 ;; sendmail and doesn't have to autoload these functions.
