I think some change from Aidan (added after the 5.10.6 release) loads
latin-unity from Gnus:

,----[ gnus/lisp/mm-util.el ]
| (defun mm-xemacs-find-mime-charset-1 (begin end)

Sure. ;-)

BTW, it would be good if the XEmacs Gnus package could provide the
date when the package was synched with the Gnus v5-10 branch.  Without
a date, "5.10.7" is rather pointless.

Bye, Reiner.
