With as little respect as I can get away with, are you a continuing example of a whiny user who is incapable of moving forward in any venue? NS4 is not less than 3 years out of date. Netscape itself does not support it any longer, having moved onto NS7. The standards of the world have moved forward; a piece of software whose capabilities are fixed at the technological boundary of 3 years ago will not be able to cope with today's needs. You are still using Gnus 5.7, even though as much as a year ago the difficulties with continuing to use 5.7 were explained to you, and still you refuse to expend the effort to upgrade. You are still using Emacs 20, even though Emacs 21 (and XEmacs 21) have also been out for considerable time. In fact, Gnus 5.8's release was timed so as to be able to become 5.9 within the Emacs 21 release. One can only wonder if any x86 boxes you own are still running Win3.1. The world will not sit still for you. You ask question after question after question after question after question...yet you are _*/NEVER/*_ satisfied with _*/ANY/*_ answer you are given. _*/NOTHING/*_ is good enough for you. Fine: Walk away from Gnus. And Emacs. And Netscape. Clearly, from your perspective, the problem is with the entire rest of the human race, and you are the one shining beacon of reason. I hesitate to call you a troll, because it has become too common to complain of trolls. But you are at the edge of being one nonetheless.
