* Changes in Oort Gnus
+** Better handling of Microsoft citation styles
+
+Gnus now tries to recognize the mangled header block that some
+Microsoft mailers use to indicate that the rest of the message is a
+citation, even though it is not quoted in any way. The variable
+`gnus-unsightly-citation-regexp' matches the start of these citations.
+
+** gnus-article-skip-boring
+
+If you set `gnus-article-skip-boring' to t, then Gnus will not scroll
+down to show you a page that contains only boring text, which by
+default means cited text and signature. You can customize what is
+skippable using `gnus-article-boring-faces'.
+
+This feature is especially useful if you read many articles that
+consist of a little new content at the top with a long, untrimmed
+message cited below.
+
+** The format spec %C for positioning point has changed to %*.
+
+** The new variable `gnus-parameters' can be used to set group parameters.
+
+Earlier this was done only via `G p' (or `G c'), which stored the
+parameters in ~/.newsrc.eld, but via this variable you can enjoy the
+powers of customize, and simplified backups since you set the variable
+in ~/.emacs instead of ~/.newsrc.eld. The variable maps regular
+expressions matching group names to group parameters, a'la:
+
+ (setq gnus-parameters
+ '(("mail\\..*"
+ (gnus-show-threads nil)
+ (gnus-use-scoring nil))
+ ("^nnimap:\\(foo.bar\\)$"
+ (to-group . "\\1"))))
+
** Smileys (":-)", ";-)" etc) are now iconized for Emacs too.
Put (setq gnus-treat-display-smileys nil) in ~/.emacs to disable it.
