This did not produce any error. Do you know what I can do to reproduce the error? Can you reproduce it? If I can't reproduce it, could you investigate where the problem comes from? Position point inside the function definition of gnus-agent-save-alist, then type M-x edebug-defun RET, then reproduce the error. You will see that Emacs shows you the function and then you can use SPC to single-step through it. What happens when you do that? -- ~/.signature is: umop ap!sdn (Frank Nobis)
