- Don't you mean Gnus 5.1, aka. what used to be dgnus? ;)

- Okay, it's great, if you're using Emacs on an X11 display, since you
- get the neat stuff like URL highlighting etc. However, as far as I've
- been able to figure out (haven't had much time to play with Gnus
- customizing), it doesn't understand MIME, much less show the contents
- of MIME attachments. And VM makes (IMO) a much better mail reader. Of
- course, both are in Emacs, and easily tied together, so it is a single
- environment, but still.
-
- The point is, Gnus is a wonderful news reader, but it is far from
- perfect.
