Which version of Emacs do I need?

@subsubheading Answer

Gnus 5.10 requires an Emacs version that is greater
than or equal to Emacs 20.7 or XEmacs 21.1. The
development versions of Gnus (aka No Gnus) require Emacs
21 or XEmacs 21.4.

How do I run Gnus on both Emacs and XEmacs?

There's an very basic solution for this, mail aliases.
You can store your mail addresses in a ~/.mailrc file using a simple
alias syntax:

@example
alias al	"Al <al@@english-heritage.bla>"
@end example
@noindent

Then typing your alias (followed by a space or punctuation
character) on a To: or Cc: line in the message buffer will

      (regexp-opt '("Your.Email@@here.bla"
