* Mailer is configurable

The variables gnus-mail-reply-method and gnus-mail-other-window-method
are provided for using yet another emacs mailer, such as mh-e.

If the variable gnus-show-threads is non-nil, conversation threads are
displayed in tree structured form in Subject Mode.  Commands for
moving around thread trees are also added.

* New variable gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method

The variable gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method is provided for
customizing new newsgroup subscription method.  The default adds new
newsgroups at top of others.

The variable gnus-author-copy-saver is provided for customizing author
copy saver.  The default is `rmail-output' which saves in Unix mail

You can run kill processing in background using the following command:

	emacs -batch -l gnus -f gnus-batch-kill NEWSGROUP ...

* Options line is handled properly

Options line in .newsrc file is handled properly the same as Bnews
standard programs.  For example, `options -n !comp.all.misc' is
understood as you expected.

Commands for testing KILL file are added.

Mailer dependent parts are moved to gnusmail.el from gnus.el.

Rmail digest mode can handle window configuration properly.

* gnus-use-long-file-name is conditional

If system-type is usg-unix-v, set the variable gnus-use-long-file-name
to nil by default.

* l and L commands in Group Mode

l and L commands in Group Mode remember the last newsgroup.  Point
does not go far away after the commands.

This is because overlay-arrow-string sometimes interfare with other
