Hi Katsumi,

Probably this is true, but it's your (and my) unproved hypothesis.

> (I vote to making Gnus drop Emacs 21 support.)

It's very easy to emulate the third arg by using (e.g.)

(delete "" (split-string "a,b,,c" ","))

instead of

(split-string "a,b,,c" "," t)

So my vote is to make that change and keep Emacs 21 support for a while
longer.

With kind regards,
Christoph
