This is the stable release of Mew 2.1.

			     <Platforms>

Please use Emacs 20.7 or later (including Emacs 21.1), or XEmacs
21.1.14 or later. Mew doesn't support earlier versions.

Mew may support beta versions of Emacs but Mew conforms the
specification of official release when available.

			      <Web Site>

Useful information may be found from the following web page:

	http://www.Mew.org/

			     <Transition>

If you want to use the 'Config' features, please configure
'mew-config-alist'. For more information, please see the document of
'mew-config-alist'.

Since Mew is independent on the IM packages, files in "~/.im"
should move to "~/Mail".

	% cd ~/.im
	% mv Addrbook ~/Mail

			    <Installation>

(1) Edit "Makefile" as you like.

(2) Type 'make'.

(2.1) Mew's info is formatted by Emacs 20.7. So, the info could not be
visible with other Emacsen like XEmacs. In this case, type 'make info'
to format the info.

(2.2) If you want to format the Japanese info, type 'make jinfo'.

(3) Type 'make install'.

If you have the "install-info" command, the following line will be
automatically added to the "dir" file.  Otherwise, add it by yourself.

---
* Mew: (mew.info).      Messaging in the Emacs World
---

(3.1) If you want the Japanese info, type 'make install-jinfo'. If you
have the "install-info" command, the following line will be
automatically added to the "dir" file.  Otherwise, add it by yourself.

---
* Mew-J: (mew.jis.info).  Messaging in the Emacs World
---

(4) Add the following to "~/.emacs" or your site environment file.

	(autoload 'mew "mew" nil t)
	(autoload 'mew-send "mew" nil t)
	;; (setq mew-name "your name") ;; (user-full-name)
	;; (setq mew-user "user name of e-mail address") ;; (user-login-name)
	(setq mew-mail-domain "domain of e-mail address")
	;; (setq mew-pop-user "your POP account")  ;; (user-login-name)
	(setq mew-pop-server "your POP server")    ;; if not localhost
	(setq mew-smtp-server "your SMTP server")  ;; if not localhost
	(setq mew-icon-directory "icon directory") ;; if using XEmacs
        ;; See also mew-config-alist for advanced use

If you want to use a local spool instead of POP, see
"contrib/00readme" for more detail.

Optionally, add the following. This links Mew to other packages. For
example, Mew is used when you write reports on Emacs's bugs.

	;; Optional setup (Read Mail menu for Emacs 21):
	(if (boundp 'read-mail-command)
	    (setq read-mail-command 'mew))

	;; Optional setup (e.g. C-xm for sending a message):
	(autoload 'mew-user-agent-compose "mew" nil t)
	(if (boundp 'mail-user-agent)
	    (setq mail-user-agent 'mew-user-agent))
	(if (fboundp 'define-mail-user-agent)
	    (define-mail-user-agent
	      'mew-user-agent
	      'mew-user-agent-compose
	      'mew-draft-send-message
	      'mew-draft-kill
	      'mew-send-hook))

(5) Please check "mew.dot.emacs". Cut parts or the entire of the file
then add to "~/.emacs".

(6) Type 'M-x mew' to execute Mew. If cute cats are displayed and no
error occurs on XEmacs/Emacs 21, you succeeded. If the text demo
starts and no error occurs on Emacs 20, you succeeded.
