First of all, please excuse me if I got the version number of the new
gnus reader wrong.
Secondly, I believe that I may have found some bugs in this version. I
don't know when it was installed, but just recently I noticed these
"bugs" and I also noticed the different version number on the startup
screen.
The first bug happens in Subject mode. I have my articles sorted by
Subject (not that this makes any difference in this case). Occasionally,
the formatting of the Subject list is screwy. Look at this example from
the comp.databases newsgroup:

In this list, article 8330 suffers from this odd problem. Notice
that the first column of this line is too far over to the right and then
there is a _gigantic_ space right before the subject column. In other
words, I will see no subject for the article because it's been pushed
off the screen.
The second bug (which may not be a bug) also occurred in Subject mode.
When I hit 'R' to reply (via mail) to the author of an article and to
include the article in the letter, I got the following error message:
Cannot open load file gnusmail.
I don't know whether or not this is a bug. It might be my fault.
Anyway, please advise! If you have any further questions, please write
to me and I'll respond to the list.
