gnus-setup-message-winconf-name

gnus-setup-message-winconf-name

[Leo Butler]

Hi, I am a new gnus user (after ~20 years using pine). Sometimes, when I
am in a group buffer and I hit M-g to update the listings, I get the
following message:

gnus-configure-windows: No such setting in `gnus-buffer-configuration': gnus-setup-message-winconf-name

I am using gnus built from the git repo (within the last week) due to
issues with the version of gnus in debian testing and my employer's
exchange email server.

Known problem, FWIW:

I get this same error at odd times, and haven't been able to reproduce it
faithfully enough to track it down yet.

I've never seen such an error though, I suspect it might be due
to a mote having been accidentally added to `gnus-setup-message'.
Here's an extract:

(defmacro gnus-setup-message (config &rest forms)
  (let ((winconf-name (make-symbol "gnus-setup-message-winconf-name")))
    `(let ((,winconf-name gnus-current-window-configuration))
         (gnus-inews-add-send-actions ,winconf ,buffer ,article ,config
                                      ,yanked ',winconf-name)
                                              ^
`winconf-name' is quoted by this extra apostrophe, so it will be
expanded into the symbol `gnus-setup-message-winconf-name', not
the `gnus-current-window-configuration' variable.  I'm not quite
sure to remove it is the solution, though.

Fixed in git and bzr.  Now I'm sure that is the right solution.
The reason I've never faced such an error is that I don't use
the functions that try to configure the window layout for the
setting `gnus-setup-message-winconf-name'.  Those functions are
`gnus-group-make-nnir-group', `gnus-pick-setup-message', and
`gnus-summary-rescan-group'.

It appears that that did fix the problem. Thanks!

Well, I spoke too soon. That change did reduce the number of
times I see this error, but it has occurred since I picked up the fixes
from the git repo. Any additional ideas?

All the *.el files that use the `gnus-setup-message' macro have
to be re-compiled (after updating gnus-msg.el).  The easiest way
is to rebuild and install Gnus.  Have you ever done?

I did run ./configure && make after the update.
I just when in and did make clean && make, so I will see if that has any
effect. Thanks for your help.
