`M-x list-load-path-shadows RET' shows no match for mm- or other Gnus
related files.

I'm using the Emacs-bundled Gnus (CVS Emacs, Gnus 5.11).  I have
updated (and even bootstrapped) Emacs CVS today at 11:50 CEST.
mm-util.el* and mm-decode.el* files in the installation directory are
installed correctly.  After `M-: (load "mm-decode.el") RET' it works
correctly.

*time passes*... I added (require 'mm-util) in mm-decode.el.  After
"rm lisp/gnus/*.elc", "make recompile" and install, I cannot reproduce
the problem anymore.  (Though I'm quite sure that I did rm
mm-decode.elc, recompile, install, restart the last time.)

But I still think, that beside adding (require 'mm-util), we should
also install the improved gnus-mime-save-part-and-strip (and
gnus-mime-delete-part?) in v5-10.  WDYT?

Bye, Reiner.
