When I switched to the MELPA version of bbdb, I've gotten the message
run-hooks: Autoloading failed to define function bbdb-insinuate-sendmail
every time I started composing the message.
In addition to the error message, the following annoying things were
happening:
- the cursor was been positioned to the far right of the "To" line
(overlapping the "T")
- when forwarding messages, the forwarded message wasn't inserted into
the message composition buffer
- when replying to a message, the quoted message was b0rked
What I did was to change the value of gnus-use-sendmail from t to nil (I
haven't used sendmail to send messages from Gnus for,... like,
ages...!):
https://github.com/steinarb/gnus-patches/commit/6adfc5d6e18800b2862a23160f83ba14623cc648
To apply the change:
git checkout master
git pull
git remote add sb-patches https://github.com/steinarb/gnus-patches.git
git fetch sb-patches
git merge sb-patches/avoid-error-message-about-undefined-function-bbdb-insinuate-sendmail
...or just change the "t" to a "nil"... whatever seems most appropriate...

Note that even with this fix in place, there are strange things
happening to the windows setup after doing an M-TAB to expand an email
address.
But that fix is for another day. I just needed to be able to forward
messages.

I have been running my own branch with merges from origin/master since
then, and the only thing that keeps me from being on master, is this
little change:
sb@edwards:~/git/gnus$ git diff origin/master
diff --git a/lisp/gnus-setup.el b/lisp/gnus-setup.el
index c8560e3..7ef8dc5 100644

"Set this if you want to use MH-E for mail reading.")
(defvar gnus-use-rmail nil
"Set this if you want to use RMAIL for mail reading.")
-(defvar gnus-use-sendmail t
+(defvar gnus-use-sendmail nil
"Set this if you want to use SENDMAIL for mail reading.")
(defvar gnus-use-vm nil
"Set this if you want to use the VM package for mail reading.")
I recently did a detour on master, and the "run-hooks: Autoloading
failed to define function bbdb-insinuate-sendmail" message in the
minibuffer, when replying to messages, was back.
Could I get this setting swapped in master, please?
(I don't even know what it means to use SENDMAIL for mail reading...?
Using it for sending, I could understand, but for reading...)
