What does this error message mean ?

[Pieter Wenk]

Hello to all:

It happens, that I am getting:

variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size.

Result it becomes impossible to hit F or N in order
to send follow-up messages.

Why does this happen and how to correct ?

I this a "special feature" in order keeping people
happy ?

Many thanks for your help

Thanks a lot. 

I started in fact to use Xemacs/gnus recently. How do you
increase this number ???

Were ?

Secondly, it happens often that I am getting also
the message:

nnspool: References header too long (Article not posted).

I have of course no influence on such headers and would
like to able answering.

What do I have to do in order to correct this. ?

I wish to all of this group a happy and prosper
New Year.

Regards

This is a measure against infinite loops, I think.  It seems that
demanding Lisp packages sometimes need more than the normal limit.
You could try increasing the number: (setq max-specpdl-size 9999)

Thanks a lot. Will add this to my ~/.gnus

Now I am also getting another message:

nnspool: Reference header too long (article not posted).

Stefanie Teufel, advised me, that this might be a bug.

Any idea how to correct this ?

Many thanks for your help

Hmmm, I'm not sure, but I mean I read something about broken
references, a possible bug etc. only a few weeks ago on the list. Am I
wrong?

happy new year

nnspool: Reference header too long (article not posted)

[Pieter Wenk]

Hello to all,

What kind of new great feature is 

Reference header too long (article not posted)

How can I correct this error message as it makes it
absolutly impossible posting follow-up messages.

Like this, gnus 5.8.2 can not be used.....

Many thanks for your help....

I think this is a message that comes from your inews program and not
from Gnus.  I looked in the Gnus *.el files and couldn't find
`reference header' nor `too long' (case insensitively).

Can you use nntp rather than nnspool as a select method?

I have:

(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "localhost"))

in ~/.gnus

And with "this" setting am getting the above error !

Do you have any idea why ?

Like this it's really akward using gnus....

Many thanks for your help

Maybe it would be best to tell message to fold long references lines.
See the variable message-cater-to-broken-inn.
