How about making it stop with a > warning like "You must run Gnus first"? That's probably fine, if the message says something like: "You must run Gnus, or customize `gnus-dired-mail-mode', first" Or, how about something like changing the default value of gnus-dired-mail-mode to something like: (if (featurep 'gnus) 'gnus-user-agent 'mail-user-agent) (It's possible none of this makes sense, I'm not familiar with how this works...)
