Indeed.  I compile emacs/gnus out of CVS. 22 has some features 21
doesn't that I needed at the time (don't ask me what, I don't remember:)

I asked the version because I was curious if you had stepped up to 22
as well, or were still using 21.  Those whom I've heard complain are
on 21, and in some cases, possibly 20.

Then *that* could be the problem if they're still using a config from
eons ago, and the current situation as changed in this area.
