You should at least jump to 20.2.97.  A lot of MULE problems, some being
serious, have been corrected since then.  A few (hmm! :-) remain!

I'm currently setting EMACS_UNIBYTE to 1 in my environment, in hope of
temporary limiting the damage and keeping pretesting manageable, as I have
not much time for doing it all very carefully.  Even with this setting,
I still write a lot of reports, and do not find to provide repeatable
test cases I should.  My intent is to wait until things get more stable,
before retrying without the EMACS_UNIBYTE setting.

Hrvoje often sends me friendly teases, trying to convince to jump into the
XEmacs effort, while I'm not even a XEmacs user (yet :-).  So far, I could
bear the needles he throws in my direction.  But now, *now*, Lars, what
will I do?  Do you fully realize you just gave him a big stock of grenades?
