I agree. AFAICS, Dave Love already installed some changes to make Gnus work with emacs-unicode-2 (often referred as "Emacs 22" [2] in code comments). But there are probably also some open issues: E.g. "Wrong for Emacs 23" in `message-fix-before-sending'. Bye, Reiner. [1] We are currently discussing if we should drop Emacs 20.7 compatibility also for the stable branch (Gnus 5.10, v5-10) as we have already done for the development version of Gnus (No Gnus). [2] We should probably check out the before-renaming-to-emacs-22 version, look for strings like "Emacs 22" and replace the comments with "Emacs 23 (unicode)" -- ,,, (o o) ---ooO-(_)-Ooo--- | PGP key available | http://rsteib.home.pages.de/
