Hmmm.. well that might be the answer: No Match !! My version of emacs
is:

andrew@ilium~$ emacs --version
GNU Emacs 21.4.2
Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

and I guess according to my User-Agent header  Gnus/5.09 (Gnus v5.9.0).

Would I be better to simply install the newest stable release of emacs,
which I understand has the latest gnus? The version of emacs I have is
the default one that comes with slackware 12, I did not realise how aged
it was :-).

 Thanks for your patience,

     Andrew
