7bit
----

*7bit* means any integer between 0 .. 127.

   Any data represented by 7bit integers is called *7bit data*.

   Textual string consisted of Control characters between 0 .. 31 and
127, and space represented by 32, and graphic characters between 33 ..
236 are called *7bit (textual) string*.

   Traditional Internet MTA (*Note MTA::) can translate 7bit data, so
it is no need to translate by Quoted-Printable (*Note
Quoted-Printable::) or Base64 (*Note Base64::) for 7bit data.

   However if there are too long lines, it can not translate by 7bit MTA
even if it is 7bit data.  RFC 821 (*Note RFC 821::) and RFC 2045 (*Note
RFC 2045::) require lines in 7bit data must be less than 998 bytes.  So
if a "7bit data" has a line more than 999 bytes, it is regarded as
binary (*Note binary::).  For example, Postscript file should be
encoded by Quoted-Printable.


File: tm-en.info,  Node: 8bit,  Next: 94-character set,  Prev: 7bit,  Up: Glossary

8bit
----

*8bit* means any integer between 0 .. 255.

   Any data represented by 8bit integers is called *8bit data*.

   Textual string consisted of Control characters between 0 .. 31, 127,
and 128 .. 159, and space represented by 32, and graphic characters
between 33 .. 236 and 160 .. 255 are called *8bit (textual) string*.

   For example, iso-8859-1 (*Note iso-8859-1::) or euc-kr (*Note
euc-kr::) are coded-character-set represented by 8bit textual string.

   Traditional Internet MTA (*Note MTA::) can translate only 7bit
(*Note 7bit::) data, so if a 8bit data will be translated such MTA, it
must be encoded by Quoted-Printable (*Note Quoted-Printable::) or Base64
(*Note Base64::).

   However 8bit MTA are increasing today.

   However if there are too long lines, it can not translate by 8bit MTA
even if it is 8bit data.  RFC 2045 (*Note RFC 2045::) require lines in
8bit data must be less than 998 bytes.  So if a "8bit data" has a line
more than 999 bytes, it is regarded as binary (*Note binary::), so it
must be encoded by Base64 or Quoted-Printable.

94-character set
----------------

*94-character set* is a kind of 1 byte graphic character set (*Note
graphic character set::), each characters are in positions 02/01 (33)
to 07/14 (126) or 10/01 (161) to 15/14 (254).  (ex. ASCII (*Note

96-character set
----------------

*96-character set* is a kind of 1 byte graphic character set (*Note
graphic character set::), each characters are in positions 02/00 (32)
to 07/15 (126) or 10/00 (160) to 15/15 (255). (ex. ISO 8859)


File: tm-en.info,  Node: 94x94-character set,  Next: ASCII,  Prev: 96-character set,  Up: Glossary

94x94-character set
-------------------

*94x94-character set* is a kind of 2 byte graphic character set (*Note
graphic character set::), each bytes are in positions 02/01 (33) to
07/14 (126) or 10/01 (161) to 15/14 (254).  (ex. JIS X0208 (*Note JIS
X0208::), GB 2312 (*Note GB 2312::))


File: tm-en.info,  Node: ASCII,  Next: Base64,  Prev: 94x94-character set,  Up: Glossary

ASCII
-----

*ASCII* is a 94-character set (*Note 94-character set::) contains
primary latin characters (A-Z, a-z), numbers and some characters.  It is
a standard of the United States of America.  It is a variant of ISO 646
(*Note ISO 646::).

[ASCII]

     Interchange", ANSI X3.4:1986.


File: tm-en.info,  Node: Base64,  Next: binary,  Prev: ASCII,  Up: Glossary

Base64
------

*Base64* is a transfer encoding method of MIME (*Note MIME::) defined
in RFC 2045 (*Note RFC 2045::).

   The encoding process represents 24-bit groups of input bits as output
strings of 4 encoded characters.  Encoded characters represent integer 0
.. 63 or *pad*.  Base64 data must be 4 * n bytes, so pad is used to
adjust size.

   These 65 characters are subset of all versions of ISO 646, including
US-ASCII, and all versions of EBCDIC.  So it is safe even if it is
translated by non-Internet gateways.

binary
------

Any byte stream is called *binary*.

   It does not require structureof lines.  It differs from from 8bit
(*Note 8bit::).

   In addition, if line structured data contain too long line (more than
998 bytes), it is regarded as binary.

Content-Type field
------------------

Header field to represent information about body, such as media type
(*Note media type::), MIME charset (*Note MIME charset::).  It is
defined in RFC 2045 (*Note RFC 2045::).

*[Memo]*

     Historically, Content-Type field was proposed in RFC 1049.  In it,
     Content-Type did not distinguish type and subtype.  However MIME
     parser may be able to accept RFC 1049 based Content-Type as
     unknown type.

   Content-Type field is defined as following:

     "Content-Type" ":" *type* "/" *subtype* *( ";" *parameter* )

   For example:

          Content-Type: image/jpeg

          Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-2022-jp

*[Memo]*

     A part does not have content-type field is regarded as

               Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

MIME
----

MIME stands for *Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions*, it is an
extension for RFC 822 (*Note RFC 822::).

   According to RFC 2045:

   STD 11, RFC 822, defines a message representation protocol specifying
considerable detail about US-ASCII message headers, and leaves the
message content, or message body, as flat US-ASCII text.  This set of
documents, collectively called the Multipurpose Internet Mail
Extensions, or MIME, redefines the format of messages to allow for

  1. textual message bodies in character sets other than US-ASCII,

  2. an extensible set of different formats for non-textual message
     bodies,

  3. multi-part message bodies, and

  4. textual header information in character sets other than US-ASCII.

   It is defined in RFC 2045 (*Note RFC 2045::), RFC 2046 (*Note RFC
2046::), RFC 2047 (*Note encoded-word::), RFC 2048 (*Note RFC 2048::)

multipart/digest
----------------

*multipart/digest* is one of multipart (*Note multipart::) media types.
This type is syntactically identical to multipart/mixed (*Note

a digest, the default Content-Type value for a body part is changed
from text/plain (*Note text/plain::) to message/rfc822 (*Note

---

A public key encryption program by Phil Zimmermann.  It provides

--------

In this document, *PGP-kazu* means a method to use traditional PGP
encapsulation in MIME (*Note MIME::), proposed by YAMAMOTO Kazuhiko.

   PGP-kazu defines a media type (*Note media type::),
*application/pgp*.

   In application/pgp entity, PGP encapsulation (*Note encapsulation::)
is used.  PGP encapsulation conflicts with MIME, so it requires
PGP-processing to read as MIME message.

   It was obsoleted, so you should use PGP/MIME (*Note PGP/MIME::).
However if you want to use traditional PGP message, it might be
available.

File: tm-en.info,  Node: Setting,  Next: Bug report,  Prev: Introduction,  Up: Top

Setting
*******

In the tm package, two files, `mime-setup.el' and `tm-setup.el', are
provided to ease the setup.

   The `mime-setup.el' is used for the whole MIME related setup
including MIME encoding using `tm-edit.el', while `tm-setup.el' is used
to set up tm-MUA only.

* Menu:

* mime-setup::                  Normal setting
* tm-setup::                    Setting not to use tm-edit
* setting for VM::              Setting for VM
* manual setting::              Setting up without loading provided setup files


File: tm-en.info,  Node: mime-setup,  Next: tm-setup,  Prev: Setting,  Up: Setting

Normal setting
==============

If you want normal setting, please use *mime-setup*.  For example,
please insert following into `~/.emacs':

     (load "mime-setup")

   As `mime-setup.el' loads `tm-setup.el', you don't need to load
`tm-setup.el' when you use `mime-setup.el' (Description of old version
of Gnus FAQ is wrong!)

* Menu:

* signature::
* Notice about GNUS::           Notices for GNUS


File: tm-en.info,  Node: signature,  Next: Notice about GNUS,  Prev: mime-setup,  Up: mime-setup

signature
---------

You can set up the *automatic signature selection tool* using
`mime-setup'. If you want to automatically select the signature file
depending on how the message headers show, add lines like shown below
to your .emacs (Refer to the reference manual of `signature.el' for
more details).

     (setq signature-file-alist
           '((("Newsgroups" . "jokes")       . "~/.signature-jokes")
             (("Newsgroups" . ("zxr" "nzr")) . "~/.signature-sun")
             (("To" . ("ishimaru" "z-suzuki")) . "~/.signature-sun")
             (("To" . "tea")                 . "~/.signature-jokes")
             (("To" . ("sim" "oku" "takuo")) . "~/.signature-formal")
             ))

 - Variable: mime-setup-use-signature
     If it is not `nil', `mime-setup.el' sets up for `signature.el'.
     Its default value is `t'.

 - Variable: mime-setup-signature-key-alist
     It defines key to bind signature inserting command for each
     major-mode.  Its default value is following:

          	((mail-mode . "\C-c\C-w"))

     If you want to change, please rewrite it.  For example:

          (set-alist 'mime-setup-signature-key-alist
          	   'news-reply-mode "\C-c\C-w")


 - Variable: mime-setup-default-signature-key
     If key to bind signature inserting command for a major-mode is not
     found from `mime-setup-signature-key-alist', its value is used as
     key.  Its default value is `"\C-c\C-s"'.


File: tm-en.info,  Node: Notice about GNUS,  Prev: signature,  Up: mime-setup

Notices for GNUS
----------------

When `mime-setup.el' sets up for `signature.el', it sets variable
`gnus-signature-file' to `nil'.  Therefore GNUS does not insert
signature automatically when it is sending a message.  Reason of this
setting is following:

   GNUS inserts signature after `tm-edit.el' composed as MIME message.
Therefore signature inserted by GNUS is not processed as a valid MIME
part.  In particular, for multipart message, signature places in outside
of MIME part.  So MIME MUA might not display it.

   Other notice is key bind.  In historical reason, key bind to insert
signature is `C-c C-s' (like mh-e (*Note (mh-e)::)) instead of `C-c
C-w'. If you change to GNUS's default, please set following:

     (set-alist 'mime-setup-signature-key-alist 'news-reply-mode "\C-c\C-w")


File: tm-en.info,  Node: tm-setup,  Next: setting for VM,  Prev: mime-setup,  Up: Setting

Setting not to use tm-edit
==========================

*tm-setup* only sets up tm-MUA (*Note tm-MUA::)s.  In other words, it
is a setting to avoid to use tm-edit.  If you don't want to compose
MIME message or want to use other MIME composer, please use it instead
of `mime-setup.el'.

   For example, please insert following into `~/.emacs':

     (load "tm-setup")

*[Memo]*

     If you use `mime-setup.el', you you don't need to load
     `tm-setup.el'.


File: tm-en.info,  Node: setting for VM,  Next: manual setting,  Prev: tm-setup,  Up: Setting

Setting for VM
==============

If you use *vm*, please insert following in `~/.vm':

     (require 'tm-vm)

*[Notice]*

     If you use *BBDB*, please insert `(require 'tm-vm)' *after*
     `(bbdb-insinuate-vm)'.


File: tm-en.info,  Node: manual setting,  Prev: setting for VM,  Up: Setting

Setting up without loading provided setup files
===============================================

You may find the valuable hints in `mime-setup.el' or `tm-setup.el' if
you want to set up MIME environment without loading the tm-provided
setup files.

*[Memo]*

     Current tm provides some convenient features to expect tm-edit, and
     they can not use if `mime-setup.el' is not used.  If you want to
     set up original setting to use tm-edit, please declare following
     setting:

          (provide 'mime-setup)

How to report bug and about mailing list of tm
**********************************************

If you write bug-reports and/or suggestions for improvement, please
send them to the tm Mailing List:

   *  Japanese <bug-tm-ja@chamonix.jaist.ac.jp>

   *  English <bug-tm-en@chamonix.jaist.ac.jp>

   Notice that, we does not welcome bug reports about too old version.
Bugs in old version might be fixed.  So please try latest version at
first.

   You should write *good bug report*.  If you write only "tm does not
work", we can not find such situations.  At least, you should write
name, type, variants and version of OS, emacs, tm and MUA, and setting.
In addition, if error occurs, to send backtrace is very important. (cf.
*Note (emacs)Bugs::)

   Bug may not appear only your environment, but also in a lot of
environment (otherwise it might not bug).  Therefor if you send mail to
author directly, we must write a lot of mails.  So please send mail to
address for tm bugs instead of author.

   Via the tm ML, you can report tm bugs, obtain the latest release of
tm, and discuss future enhancements to tm.  To join the tm ML, send
e-mail to:

   *  Japanese <tm-ja-admin@chamonix.jaist.ac.jp>

   *  English  <tm-en-admin@chamonix.jaist.ac.jp>

Since the user registration is done manually, please write the mail
body in human-recognizable language (^_^).
