+* Changes in Oort Gnus
+
+** deuglify.el (gnus-article-outlook-deuglify-article)
+
+A new file from Raymond Scholz <rscholz@zonix.de> for deuglifying
+broken Outlook (Express) articles.
+
+** (require 'gnus-load)
+
+If you use a stand-alone Gnus distribution, you'd better add (require
+'gnus-load) into your ~/.emacs after adding the Gnus lisp directory
+into load-path.
+
+File gnus-load.el contains autoload commands, functions and variables,
+some of which may not be included in distributions of Emacsen.
+
+** gnus-slave-unplugged
+
+A new command which starts gnus offline in slave mode.
+
+** message-insinuate-rmail
+
+Adding (message-insinuate-rmail) and (setq mail-user-agent
+'gnus-user-agent) in .emacs convinces RMAIL to compose, reply and
+forward messages in message-mode, where you can enjoy the power of
+MML.
+
+** message-minibuffer-local-map
+
+The line below enables BBDB in resending a message:
+
+(define-key message-minibuffer-local-map [(tab)] 'bbdb-complete-name)
+
+** Externalize attachments.
+
+If gnus-gcc-externalize-attachments (or
+message-fcc-externalize-attachments) is non-nil, attach local files as
+external parts.
+
+Command gnus-mime-save-part-and-strip (bound to \C-o on MIME buttons)
+saves a part and replaces the part with an external one. It works only
+on back ends that support editing.
+
+** gnus-default-charset
+
+The default value is determined from the current-language-environment
+variable, instead of 'iso-8859-1. Also the ".*" item in
+gnus-group-charset-alist is removed.
+
+** gnus-posting-styles
+
+Add a new format of match like
+
+ ((header "to" "larsi.*org")
+ (Organization "Somewhere, Inc."))
+
+The old format like the lines below is obsolete.
+
+ (header "to" "larsi.*org"
+ (Organization "Somewhere, Inc."))
+
+** message-ignored-news-headers and message-ignored-mail-headers
+
+X-Draft-From and X-Gnus-Agent-Meta-Information have been added into
+these two variables. If you customized those, perhaps you need add
+those two headers too.
+
+** Gnus reads the NOV and articles in the Agent if plugged.
+
+If one reads an article while plugged, and the article already exists
+in the Agent, it won't get downloaded once more. (setq
+gnus-agent-cache nil) reverts to the old behavior.
+
+** Gnus supports the "format=flowed" (RFC 2646) parameter.
+
+On composing messages, it is enabled by `use-hard-newlines'. Decoding
+format=flowed was present but not documented in earlier versions.
+
+** Gnus supports the generation of RFC 2298 Disposition Notification requests.
+
+This is invoked with the C-c M-n key binding from message mode.
+
+** Gnus supports Maildir groups.
+
+Gnus includes a new backend nnmaildir.el.
+
+** Printing capabilities are enhanced.
+
+Gnus supports Muttprint natively with O P from the Summary and Article
+buffers. Also, each individual MIME part can be printed using p on
+the MIME button.
+
+** Message supports the Importance: header.
+
+In the message buffer, C-c C-f C-i or C-c C-u cycles through the valid
+values.
+
+** Gnus supports Cancel Locks in News.
+
+This means a header "Cancel-Lock" is inserted in news posting. It is
+used to determine if you wrote a article or not (for
+cancelling/superseding). The behaviour can be changed by customizing
+`message-insert-canlock'.
+
+** Gnus supports server-side mail filtering using Sieve.
+
+Sieve rules can be added as Group Parameters for groups, and the
+complete Sieve script is generated using `D g' from the Group buffer,
+and then uploaded to the server using `C-c C-l' in the generated Sieve
+buffer. Search the online Gnus manual for "sieve", and see the new
+Sieve manual, for more information.
+
+** Extended format specs.
+
+Format spec "%&user-date;" is added into
+gnus-summary-line-format-alist. Also, user defined extended format
+specs are supported. The extended format specs look like "%u&foo;",
+which invokes function gnus-user-format-function-foo. Because "&" is
+used as the escape character, old user defined format "%u&" is no
+longer supported.
+
+** `/ *' (gnus-summary-limit-include-cached) is rewritten.
+
+It was aliased to `Y c' (gnus-summary-insert-cached-articles). The new
+function filters out other articles.
+
+** Group names are treated as UTF-8 by default.
+
+This is supposedly what USEFOR wants to migrate to. See
+`gnus-group-name-charset-group-alist' and
+`gnus-group-name-charset-method-alist' for customization.
+
+** The nnml and nnfolder backends store marks for each groups.
+
+This makes it possible to take backup of nnml/nnfolder servers/groups
+separately of .newsrc.eld, while preserving marks. It also makes it
+possible to share articles and marks between users (without sharing
+the .newsrc.eld file) within e.g. a department. It works by storing
+the marks stored in .newsrc.eld in a per-group file ".marks" (for
+nnml) and "groupname.mrk" (for nnfolder, named "groupname"). If the
+nnml/nnfolder is moved to another machine, Gnus will automatically use
+the .marks or .mrk file instead of the information in .newsrc.eld.
+The new server variables `nnml-marks-is-evil' and
+`nnfolder-marks-is-evil' can be used to disable this feature.
+
+** The menu bar (in Group and Summary buffer) named "Misc" has been
+renamed to "Gnus".
+
+** The menu bar (in Message mode) named "MML" has been renamed to
+"Attachments".
+
+** gnus-group-charset-alist and gnus-group-ignored-charsets-alist.
+
+The regexps in these variables are compared with full group names
+instead of real group names in 5.8. Users who customize these
+variables should change those regexps accordingly. For example:
+
+ ("^han\\>" euc-kr) -> ("\\(^\\|:\\)han\\>" euc-kr)
+
+** Gnus supports PGP (RFC 1991/2440), PGP-MIME (RFC 2015/3156) and
+SMIME.
+
+** Gnus inlines external parts (message/external).
+
+** MML (Mime compose) prefix changed from `M-m' to `C-c C-m'.
+
+This change was made to avoid conflict with the standard binding of
+`back-to-indentation', which is also useful in message mode.
