I'll admit that gnus version numbers have me baffled. Which is in the Emacs CVS repository (and presumably included in emacs-snapshot)? When gnus and MH-E that are currently in Emacs CVS are both released, mh-e and gnus packages could share icons. Alternatively, the mh-e package could depend on the gnus package since it adds much (highly) recommended functionality anyway. Just something more to think about. -- Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
