Oh -- no, very helpful!

Can we then maybe make it a bit more discoverable that nnmairix is
obsolete (and if it's unmaintained and doesn't work, it is, in reality,
very obsolete)?  If I don't read the introducing paragraph of the large
part that covers nnmairix in the Gnus manual (and why should I when I
know what it does), I can't obtain that information (or can I?).  I have
wasted hours of trying to get nnmairx work and debug it the last two
days.


Thanks,

Michael.
