Starting Gnus for me leads to nasty coding cookies being added against 
my will to files.  This breaks my builds.  This is not acceptable.  Why 
is this happening?  I know little of coding systems and less of MULE, 
but it seems to me that changing file content without my express say-so 
is ALWAYS a bug.

GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin7.0.0)
Gnus v5.10.3 (built out of CVS on 11/03/03)

Thanks.
