This is how my Gnus displays Frank's message:

| Subject: [patch] make-x.bat and directory-structure
| Newsgroups: emacs.ding

| 
| If you installed XEmacs via the setup.exe, (You see I'm talking about M$
| Windows.) the gnus lisp-files are installed in
| %emacs-working-dir%/../../xemacs-packages/lisp/gnus
| but the make-x.bat copies the files to 
| %emacs-working-dir%/../lisp/gnus
| 
| This directory will not exist and therefor it will fail. The same for
| the info and etc files. The following patch fixes this and reduces the
| number of arguments for the batch file:
| [2. Fix for make-x.bat --- text/x-patch; make-x.diff]...
| 
| Make-x.bat sounds as if it had something to do with a X-server and long
| filenames shouldn't be a problem since many files in the lisp dir have
| more than 8+3 characters, so it there's no harm if those two have long
| filenames, too.

i.e. Gnus hides these two lines after the patch:

| 
| Further on I suggest to rename the file to something like make-xemacs.bat
| and make.bat to make-emacs.bat.
