Re: [O] how do you compose mails in Gnus with org-mode

Yes, you need to checkout the 26 branch to get the next version to be released. A git branch -a will probably list all the branches and you should see one labelled 26 (I'm not running emacs from git at present, so cannot check). I believe git 26 has been in 'feature freeze' for a while while they try to sort out the main bugs needing to be fixed before 26.1 can be released. 

Note also that I believe the template changes in org are not in the maint branch, only master. So you could try  the maint btranch as that would at least have known bugs fixed.

Thanks for the clarification. But in order to compile 26, I would need
to checkout the 26 from the git repo? Do I understand that correctly?

Well I started to use that version at a time a specific BIDI function
was only in master but not in the official release. Later a similar
thing occurred with vc.el.

Ah no. I am running emacs git master from end of January. I am running
the git/master version of org mode from last june. Why? Well Nic put in
some very useful stuff in org-table (not in the official release now),
but then later in September/October the whole template engine was
changed in master and I could not find out you to make it work again,
that is why I stick to that very particular org version.

Yeah maybe. At least this way reporting them I could contribute a bit to
GNU emacs. :-D
