Kazu Yamamoto Aug 24, 1997 This is official release of Mew to replace MH with IM Perl5 scripts. Emacs 19.28 or later (including 20.xx), Mule version 2.3 or later, and XEmacs 20.2 or later are supposed to be officially supported. Mule for Win32 Window Version 1.21 is also supported. Support for Emacs 18 and Mule 1 is OBSOLETE, sorry. This version has not been tested on XEmacs 19. (1) Edit "Makefile" as you like. (2) Type "make". (3) Type "make install". (4) Copy the contents in the "etc" directory to anywhere, say "/usr/local/lib/xemacs-20.2/etc/mew". (5) Add the following to "~/.emacs" or your site environment file. (autoload 'mew "mew" nil t) (autoload 'mew-send "mew" nil t) (setq mew-mail-domain-list '("your mail domain")) (setq mew-icon-directory "/usr/local/lib/xemacs-20.2/etc/mew") Note that you need to set mew-icon-directory the directory in the stage (4). (6) Please check "mew.dot.emacs". Cut parts or the entire of the file then add to "~/.emacs". (7) Install IM Perl5 package. (8) On XEmacs, click the "Mail" tool button to start Mew. If cute cats are displayed and no error occur, you succeeded. On text Emacs, type "M-x mew" to execute Mew. In this case, the old demo will start. (9) Copy info files under the "info" directory to the info directory of your site. Add the following line into the "dir" file. --- * Mew: (mew.info). Messaging in the Emacs World --- Now necessary icons are prepared, however, I'm still calling for icon contributions. The more choices are, the better. If you don't install XEmacs 20.2 but want to see icon-base interface, please gain access to: http://www.mew.org --End of file
