Until recently, all these things were working just the way they
should. A recent upgrade appears to have broken some of their
functionality. emacs outside slrn still works fine. emacs with mutt
still works fine (though startup is slower; see below). btw, I use
"emacs", not xemacs.
With slrn, however, I now have a plain old white on black emacs
display (previously, it was multi-colored). The mode line says "Text
Fill". M-x font-lock-mode does nothing. "f"ollowup in slrn still
functions, but "r"eply reports something about file not found, message
not sent. I used to do C-c-c to finish and send and that no longer
works. C-x-c works, but then asks me if I wish to save some anonymous
file.
emacs is now slower to start up, mentioning "40mule-ucs" for about ten
seconds.
What can I do to try to track down the problem(s)?

Any reason why you don't upgrade to emacs21?

Sure. It's not available for Debian stable. As soon as Sarge goes
stable, I'll upgrade.
Good news, however. I appear to have fixed the problem. emacs called
from slrn appears to have regained its old behaviour. At least now,
it's in color, and the mode line says "Post Header Fill". All I
changed in .slrnrc was "set use_tmpdir 0", and now all appears to be
back the way it was.

Sure it is available for Debian stable (at least for 21.2), maybe you should
apt-get update ?
Here it is : http://packages.debian.org/stable/editors/emacs21

Well, son of a gun; it's at backports too:
http://www.backports.org/debian/dists/woody/emacs21/
and that's 21.3
Thanks. :-)
