+The regexps in these variables are compared with full group names
+instead of real group names in 5.8.  Users who customize these
+variables should change those regexps accordingly. For example:
+
+   ("^han\\>" euc-kr) -> ("\\(^\\|:\\)han\\>" euc-kr)
+
+** Gnus now supports PGP-MIME (RFC2015) and SMIME.
+
+** Gnus inlines external parts (message/external).
+
+** MML (Mime compose) prefix changed from `M-m' to `C-c C-m'.

+This change was made to avoid conflict with the standard binding of
+`back-to-indentation', which is also useful in message mode.
