;;; Commentary:

;; This file provides the function `gnus-mule-add-group' for backward
;; compatibility with old version of Gnus included in Emacs 20.

  "Specify that articles of news group NAME are encoded in CODING-SYSTEM.
All news groups deeper than NAME are also the target.
If CODING-SYSTEM is a cons, the car part is used and the cdr
part is ignored.

This function exists for backward comaptibility with Emacs 20.  It is
recommended to customize the variable `gnus-group-charset-alist'
rather than using this function."
