I took your advice, and installed Gnus 5.10.6.
Instantly the HTML washing works!
As for the absence of a .gnus file: presumably one has to create this
oneself. Certainly Gnus reads the .gnus file I created which only
currently has one line:
(setq fred 'joe)
Well, obviously that was just for testing purposes.
Perhaps the reason that my gnus variables all seem to be in .emacs and
not in .gnus is that I have tended to use the "customization"
interface (e.g. by pressing 'G c' in the Group buffer) to make
changes, rather than editing the .gnus file directly.
I still haven't solved my other problem, but I'll post to the relevant
thread.
Thanks for your help.
David

A lot of people prefer emacs-w3m[1]. It makes
web-browsing much more pleasant in Emacs, plus it renders
HTML very well as plain text in Gnus.
Once you have it installed, activate it with this in your .gnus:
(setq mm-text-html-renderer 'w3m)
(setq mm-inline-text-html-with-images t)
(setq mm-inline-text-html-renderer 'mm-inline-text-html-render-with-w3m)
I also like to set gnus-inhibit-mime-unbuttonizing. It
allows me to hit b to switch between text/plain and
text/html when viewing a multipart message.
Footnotes:
[1] http://emacs-w3m.namazu.org/, or look for the w3m-el
and w3m-el-common packages for Fedora.
