I think that before we make the transition to No Gnus, the follwoing
almost-trivial patch should be applied.

Kevin Greiner gave his approval to this patch way back in May, but did
not apply it straight away, since this was straight after Lars
announced that he wanted there to be more focus on fixing bugs rather
than new features in anticipation of No Gnus.  See
<87bry4sk0n.fsf@cam.ac.uk> and the surrounding discussion.

I think that the patch should be applied now since it is small and
tidy, serves a demonstrable need and has been very thoroughly tested
by yours truly in the months following May (more than half a year).
There have been lots of other patches applied that are far more
intrusive.
