Pretty sure, yes. I just unpacked it today. I am running configure
with the options

--with-xemacs --prefix=/home/sw/cmarquar/emacs/gnus-CURRENT-20010116

where --prefix is the same directory where I unpacked it (I do not
have write access to the system directory). Is this dangerous in any
way?

I probably should also mention that this is a non-Mule XEmacs, 21.1.9.

That fixed it, thanks.

Might be, I do not have the latest XEmacs. It's not really a problem
now, the texi file is fine.

For the only reason that I mentally connect importance with order,
and so an X-Header gets more importance than it needs.
User interface only, but for the same reason that we have
message-header-to-face and message-header-subject-face stand out
optically.
