My reasoning for doing something absolutely fascist as this goes as follows: I spend a finite time at the keyboard. Being compatible with older Emacsen takes time. So, what makes more sense -- writing that *fab* new `gnus-frobnoze-world' command or doing silly things to work around missing features in Emacs 19.22? I can't do both. > While I'm here...

You have to set the MAILHOST environment variable to "trym.uio.no" before starting Emacs, I think. The September 0.27 "Reading Mail" node in the manual covers this better than it used to. -- Home is where the cat is.
