quoting only the region in reply -> wrong-type-argument

quoting only the region in reply -> wrong-type-argument

[Reiner Steib]

Hi,

when I tried to reply to a mail, using the new feature to quote only
the text in the region [1,2] and not the whole article, I got the
following error [3]:

--8<------------------------schnipp------------------------->8---

The bug seems related to your advised function.

I have another problem with the function
`gnus-article-followup-with-original' 
Its definition is:
,----
| (defun gnus-article-followup-with-original ()
|   "Compose a followup to the current article.
| The text in the region will be yanked.  If the region isn't active,
| the entire article will be yanked."
|   (interactive)
|   (let ((article (cdr gnus-article-current)))
|     (if (not mark-active)
| 	(gnus-summary-followup (list (list article)))
|       ;; Deactivate active regions.
|       (when (and (boundp 'transient-mark-mode)
| 		 transient-mark-mode)
| 	(setq mark-active nil))
|       (gnus-summary-followup
|        (list (list article (buffer-substring (point) (mark))))))))
`----

`mark-active' is not known to XEmacs. I have to replace `mark-active'
with `zmacs-region-active-p', then everything is fine. The same is with
`gnus-article-reply-with-original' .

Perhaps that is his problem, but the same functionality fails for me as well
(admittedly with a much less sexy error message:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (mark-inactive)
  signal(mark-inactive nil)
  mark()
  gnus-article-followup-with-original()
* call-interactively(gnus-article-followup-with-original)
)

This is with current CVS oort and emacs 21.1.

I'll replace it with gnus-region-active-p.

I see the problem. I'll fix it by tomorrow.

No, I got an error without the advice function too. But it's fixed in
current CVS version. Thanx!
