Possibly you may also ignore this if you are using XEmacs only. If you have unfinished draft articles or delayed articles which has not been sent yet, I strongly recommend you send those articles before updating Gnus. I've restored the default value of `message-draft-coding-system' to the old state as before October 29. It is `emacs-mule' for FSF Emacs or `escape-quoted' for XEmacs. This is used for saving draft files. Once I've unified it into iso-2022-7bit regardless of the Emacs version. However, I was made to notice that iso-2022-7bit is not suitable for all sorts of characters even if it is used for the etc/HELLO file. Though iso-2022-7bit can express almost all characters, the default value should be strictly universal. I think customizing that value should be done at user's own risk. It is a real disappointment that draft files can't be shared with Emacs and XEmacs, though. -- Katsumi Yamaoka
