I've not had any problems. Thanks for your feedback, and also to Nevin. I've updated to 5.10.2 and so far it has been drop-in compatible with the old version. I haven't made any changes to my .gnus file but it all seems to be working just the same (though I haven't tried newsgroups yet, just mail.) I'm not used to updates being so easy. :) I notice a few changes already, like something called "queue" appears in the Group buffer. Also there is a dot to the left of each piece of mail in the summary buffer. These types of things probably are neat new features, but I'm not sure what they mean. I guess I have some reading to do. -- Chris
