We dropped support for Emacs 20.7 and XEmacs 21.1 in v5-10 as well (as
we've done in the trunk when starting No Gnus).  So technically it
should be possible to sync spam*.el to v5-10.  But given that Emacs
seems to enter pretest soon and(as previously mentioned in this
thread[1]) there are some unfixed bugs in the trunk version that are
not present in v5-10, I'd suggest not to do this now.

However, as Chong's improvements to the manual are made for
Emacs/v5-10, I think we should install those in Emacs/v5-10 now.  I
don't know if Ted has already made his "minor changes" based on
Chong's patch.  If not, I'd suggest that Chong installs his changes in
Emacs' CVS now.

Bye, Reiner.
