Well, GNUS is _very_ old. It latest version is 4.1 or 4.3 or so. And then, Lars wrote (ding) Gnus which became Gnus 5.0. There were various versions of Gnus 5.x, and as far as I know, the most recent versions of Emacs and XEmacs come with Gnus 5.7, whereas the most recent version of Gnus is 5.8. (Maybe XEmacs comes with Gnus 5.6, which is more or less the same as 5.7.) > well.

Semi is for dealing with MIME. As Gnus 5.8 also deals with MIME, these two step on each other's toes. If you want to use Gnus 5.8, you must disable Semi and TM and all other packages like it. (I think it is possible to still use Semi for RMAIL, say, but you must disable it for Gnus.) Fwiw, I think there is a new version of Gnus (TGnus?) which was created by the Semi team and which is based on 5.8 and which includes additional Semi functionality. I'm not sure what exactly that is, though. kai -- I like BOTH kinds of music.
