Hello.
I'm pretty much a newcommer to this Gnus-thing.
I've been reading this mailinglist for a short while, and seen mentions of
PGnus 0.5x, and I'm currently using Gnus 5.6.44 (I think it was..). How
are PGnus 0.5x and Gnus 5.6.x related? Is one more recent than the other?
Different features? And, which one would you recommend I run?

Gnus 5.6 is the currently released version, named versions are
development versions (currently Pterodactyl Gnus).
If you want to use the development versions, you should be prepared to
use the debugger in case you find a bug.

As Kai said, pgnus is the alpha version -- it will eventually become
Gnus 5.7.xx. Most notably, pgnus contains MIME support and Gnus
5.6.xx doesn't. Pgnus also requires Emacs 20.x or a similarly recent
XEmacs.
Use pgnus only if you're interested in the latest features and willing
to deal with bugs that may cause you to lose mail (never happened to
me though). A willingness to debug elisp also helps.

Actually, 5.6.xx will become 5.7, and pgnus will become 5.8.xx and 5.9.
Unless, of course, Lars has deviated from the former path.
