The version that ships with Emacs is more stable (often very stable, which can be a drawback, but I've rarely had any trouble with it). It sometimes also has some Emacs-specific fixes that haven't made it into a separate Gnus release yet, since Gnus releases separate from Emacs are fairly rare these days. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
