Yes, it does (except some errors). I am concentrating all my efforts on
gnus, I think that if threads work well for gnus they will work quite
well with any other package.
At the moment it takes a lot to load folder, because there are not
enough yield on the other thread and probably gnus switch buffers too
often (causing a yield). Still there is much to do but some results
are already visible.
Cheers,
Giuseppe
