BBDB with September Gnus 0.49

BBDB with September Gnus 0.49

[Samuel Tardieu]

Using September Gnus 0.49 and BBDB under XEmacs 19.13, I often get the
error "Message unexists or may be cancelled" in mail groups, which
seems to be due to BBDB:

Signalling: (error "message unexists")
  signal(error ("message unexists"))
  cerror("message unexists")
  apply(cerror "message unexists")
  error("message unexists")
  bbdb/gnus-update-record(nil)
  bbdb/gnus-pop-up-bbdb-buffer(nil)
  bbdb/gnus-update-record()
  run-hooks(gnus-article-prepare-hook)
  gnus-article-prepare(535 nil)
  gnus-summary-display-article(535)
  gnus-summary-first-unread-article()
  gnus-summary-read-group("nnml+private:mail.postmaster" nil nil)
  gnus-group-read-group(nil)
  call-interactively(gnus-group-read-group)

I use gnus-bbdb.el release 1.19. Is there a more recent release ? Does
anyone how to correct this problem without shutting down BBDB
completely ?

My current setup at work seems largely identical, but I do not see this
problem.

The bbdb/gnus-* functions are part of bbdb-gnus.el, as comes with
bbdb-1.50, and they have largely not be updated for Gnus 5.  It would
not surprise me if some things are now broken.  In particular, I do not
have automatic BBDB buffer popups enabled, and it looks to me like
that's a good culprit for your problem.

The current version is 1.20[1], but that was just a minor fix (a switch
from header-from to gnus-header-from).  You could disable the automatic
popups either entirely, or just in mail groups if that is where the
problem is always ocurring.

The real solution, of course, is to find and fix the problem, but I'm no
elisp god.  I code in lisp so infrequently it takes me a few days to
spool up to anything close to god mode, and I'm not willing to take the
time just now.

I often see this same problem.   I use bbdb, but no pop-ups.
