emacs, post.el, slrn, no longer working together.

["s. keeling" <keeling@spots.ab.ca>]

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)?
