That's exactly the point.  TM has been around for a *long* time -- as
long as Gnus 5 has been in existence.  The Gnus FAQ recommended it
practically from day 1.  It has been the default MIME package in
XEmacs since XEmacs 19.15.  Gnus is now taking over that area itself
and it really should preserve backwards compatibility particularly
with respect to user interface.  This isn't any different than the way
message mode preserves the same keybindings of the ancient mail-mode.

Gnus is *changing* the binding of `q' which formerly meant quit the
MIME viewer and return to the *Summary* buffer to exit the group.
This is dead wrong IMO.

There's similar braindamage in BBDB 2 -- the M-TAB fuckage it
introduced has got to go.  That key belongs to ispell.
