If Gnus is used under Win32 this is required:
(setq nnheader-file-name-translation-alist '((?: . ?_)
(?+ . ?-)))
OTOH this should be the default for theese systems -- so make sure the
variable contain the proper value.
The check is
(string-match "windows-nt\\|os/2\\|emx" (symbol-name system-type))
would that evaluate to true on a Windows 95/98 system, I wonder?
