This raises an interesting question:  How *do* you upgrade to Oort?  I
managed to find a 0.7 installed (via Google ... no hints in gnus.org),
but the documentation I found appears to be just the general gnus
documentation.  Is there a "differences" document discussing what a
gnus 5.8.8 or 5.9 users must to do upgrade to Oort?

Better handling of HTML seems pretty compelling, since I haven't found
any approach I'm satisfied with in gnus 5.x.

Thanks,
