Oops, sorry.  Gnus should be built with XEmacs 21.5 if it is
used with XEmacs 21.5.  However, I tested it using Gnus built
with XEmacs 21.4.  The problem is surely a syntax-table bug in
XEmacs 21.5, and it can be solved by building Gnus with XEmacs
21.5.  Here are test cases:

(require 'nnmail)
(with-syntax-table nnmail-split-fancy-syntax-table
  (string-match "\\<ms_tamber at hotmail\\.com\\>"
		"ms_tamber at hotmail.com"))
 => nil

(ignore-errors (load "/SOMEWHERE/gnus/lisp/dgnushack.el"))
(with-syntax-table nnmail-split-fancy-syntax-table
  (string-match "\\<ms_tamber at hotmail\\.com\\>"
		"ms_tamber at hotmail.com"))
 => 0

The bug came to light by Gnus on January 7, 2004.
