Hrvoje, I think that the failures I am now seeing with my Gnus installation are caused by the coding system changes you made. I don't have time to investigate for a day or two (sorry) but the details I have are: My normal setup, with the latest CVS as of about an hour before this mail was sent, fires up Gnus. This dies in nnmail-cache-open, signaling `no-such-coding-system file-name'. After this *nothing* manages to open, caused by the same error. A quick grep through Gnus does not show anything that I can see as being bad and all, but I don't really know either Gnus or MULE that well. If you have pGnus handy that might be a good testcase to work out what is going wrong. Reverting to `-r r21-2-latest-beta' fixes the problem, and it worked fine on the latest 21.2 prior to your big commit (plus some other bits. About half a week old or so.)
