I used to be able to use both but then I ran Qgnus for a while and when I stopped running it I couldn't start Gnus on any version of Emacs (I was using Red Hat 5.0 but went back to 4.2). I found that I was unable to compile Qgnus on 4.2 with Emacs 19.x because of an Emacs package that was required. I updated to my current Emacsen to 20.x so that I could run Qgnus.
