Here's what one Gnus maintainer says (just to clarify the version numbering, Gnus 5.10.x is the branch being suggested for inclusion, but it would be renamed 5.11 when added to the Emacs tree): Reiner Steib wrote: > It's even more than one year since the release of Gnus 5.10.1 > (2003-05-01).

So what about it? Sounds pretty good and safe to me (and Gnus is largely a standalone part of emacs). -Miles -- ===== (^o^; (())) *This is the cute octopus virus, please copy it into your sig so it can spread.
