* Changes in Oort Gnus
+** 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.
Message now asks if you wish to remove "(was: <old subject>)" from
subject lines (see `message-subject-trailing-was-query'). C-c M-m and
C-c M-f inserts markers indicating included text. C-c C-f a adds a
-X-No-Archive: header. Improved crosspost follow behaviour with
-`message-cross-post-*'.
+X-No-Archive: header. C-c C-f x inserts appropriate headers and a
+note in the body for cross-postings and followups (see the variables
+`message-cross-post-*').
** References and X-Draft-Headers are no longer generated when you
start composing messages.
