Thanks for the advice. That corrected my problem under GNU Emacs.

Though, there were 2 reasons I did not compile Gnus:

    o   It just states "you should", and not "you must" (which, as I can
        see, would be more appropriate)

    o   I wanted to share the Gnus folder for use from GNU Emacs and
        XEmacs at the same time, and I know that byte-compiled files are
        not compatible between the two systems.

So, if I understand correctly, to do so (read my mails from one system
or the other), I must duplicate the Windows folders, and byte-compile
both?

Many thanks to you for helping me so far!

Best regards,
  Fabrice Niessen
