If 0.9.9 is impossible, let's call it 0.9.8.1pl3 instead! > i have been waiting for a release for years now. "The latest stable version of slrn is 0.9.8.1, released on 2004-10-07."

Thomas Wiegner's minimal_multipart patch is a strong candidate. I've been using it only since yesterday, but I've tested it against all articles from the past two weeks in the thirty-plus groups I read that have a Content-Type header line other than "text/plain", and it seems to display most multipart articles adequately. *Complete* MIME support can wait for 0.9.10.x or later. > and so many problems can easily be solved when > slang 2.0 comes out... or slang 3.0... whatever. > > it might be here just after the next debian > release - but probably before hurd comes out.
