+@item Upgrading from previous (stable) version if you have used No Gnus.
+
+If you have tried No Gnus (the unstable Gnus branch leading to this
+release) but went back to a stable version, be careful when upgrading
+to this version. In particular, you will probably want to remove the
+@file{~/News/marks} directory (perhaps selectively), so that flags are
+read from your @file{~/.newsrc.eld} instead of from the stale marks
+file, where this release will store flags for nntp. See a later entry
+for more information about nntp marks. Note that downgrading isn't
+safe in general.
+
+@item The nntp back end store article marks in @file{~/News/marks}.
+
+The directory can be changed using the (customizable) variable
+@code{nntp-marks-directory}, and marks can be disabled using the
+(backend) variable @code{nntp-marks-is-evil}. The advantage of this
+is that you can copy @file{~/News/marks} (using rsync, scp or
+whatever) to another Gnus installation, and it will realize what
+articles you have read and marked. The data in @file{~/News/marks}
+has priority over the same data in @file{~/.newsrc.eld}.

+Picons can be displayed right from the textual address, see

The option @code{mm-fill-flowed} can be used to disable treatment of
