I took your advice, and installed Gnus 5.10.6.
Instantly the HTML washing works!
As for the absence of a .gnus file: presumably one has to create this
oneself. Certainly Gnus reads the .gnus file I created which only
currently has one line:
(setq fred 'joe)
Well, obviously that was just for testing purposes.
Perhaps the reason that my gnus variables all seem to be in .emacs and
not in .gnus is that I have tended to use the "customization"
interface (e.g. by pressing 'G c' in the Group buffer) to make
changes, rather than editing the .gnus file directly.
I still haven't solved my other problem, but I'll post to the relevant
thread.
Thanks for your help.
