For the record some explanations about these files: - gnus*.el are (parts of) core Gnus manuals. - Message:(message). Composing messages. - Emacs-MIME:(emacs-mime). Composing messages; MIME-specific parts. Both are supposed to be independent from Gnus. Alas it they are not anymore. emacs-mime is also used by MH-E. AFAICS, the MH-E manual describes the relevant MH-E specific stuff and has some references to the emacs-mime and Gnus manual. - Sieve:(sieve). Managing Sieve scripts in Emacs. - PGG:(pgg). PGP/MIME with Gnus. - SASL:(sasl). SASL authentication in Emacs. These are independent from Gnus. It would be fine with me to include those in a separate doc/gnus directory. But maybe the authors Simon Josefsson (sieve) and Daiki Ueno (pgg and sasl) would prefer to have them in doc/misc.
