Which Gnus version (date) did you use before?  Can you track the
problem down to a change in Gnus?  (In `mml.el' there haven't been
many changes.)

WFM in Emacs.

Wild guess: Could be a problem in XEmacs 21.5 similar to those listed
in `lisp/dgnushack.el':

Unfortunately not, I upgraded from 5.10.7.

Seems to be same problem.  The workaround solve the problem for me.
Thanks!

Why didn't the dgnushack.el workaround work automatically?  IIRC, when
compiling Gnus with XEmacs 21.4 and running it with XEmacs 21.5 it
doesn't help.

Anyhow, maybe you should report it as an XEmacs bug.

Bye, Reiner.
