It does not appear like the bug channel fed directly by the gnus-bug command is actually being read by anybody. It has now been about two weeks that message-yank-original has stopped being functional for installations that don't have cl loaded permanently (namely standard Emacs installations). Could you please make gnus-bug report somewhere else than what amounts to /dev/null? There is nothing to be gained by sabotaging bug reports. Thanks. -- David Kastrup
