Actually, the `display' parameter is implemented in Red Gnus.  The only
valid values are `all' and `default'.  The value `exactly-what-wes-wants'
is an unimplemented request.

You could just do what I do: wait a couple of days before you download
the latest version.  That way, you can be pretty certain that your are
getting a beta version rather than an alpha one.

Also, just leave `nnmail-delete-incoming' set to nil, and you probably
won't lose any mail ever.
