    Make gnus-uu-view-with-metamail obsolete
    
    The metamail package was last released in 1994, and has been removed
    from most GNU/Linux distributions due to being buggy and unmaintained.
    
    * lisp/gnus/gnus-uu.el (gnus-uu-view-with-metamail): Make obsolete.
    * doc/misc/gnus.texi (Other Decode Variables): Don't document
    above obsolete variable.
