I went ahead and removed the Ubuntu 'gnus' package, and changed to gnus-5.10.8 from the 'tar' file. When I first started the newest version, it asked if I wanted to convert my files to 5.10.8. After first backing up ;-), I said 'y'. Everything seems OK except for one thing: many, many of my previous read files showed up again as unread. Not sure why that happened ... Might there be *other* conversion "issues" that haven't yet appeared? Anyway, I'm going to go with this version for now. If I still have problems, I'll post again. Thanks for all the help, -Kenneth PS One other thing. I'm using emacs-21.4.1 ... is that fully compatible with gnus-5.10.8?
