Hello,
since a few days I sometimes get the message in the subject when I press
RET on an article in *Summary*. The *Article* buffer then shows all
headers without fontification.
Even a `M-: (require 'sort)' doesn't fix it, although it's defined there
(with `defcustom'). This seems to happen only if I start Gnus right
after I started emacs...
,----[ C-h v sort-fold-case RET ]
| sort-fold-case is a variable defined in `sort.el'.
| It is void as a variable.
`----
A `(defvar sort-fold-case nil)' fixes it.
If I start emacs and do `M-: (require 'sort)' before I start Gnus, it's
properly set.
,----[ C-h v sort-fold-case RET ]
| sort-fold-case is a variable defined in `sort.el'.
| Its value is nil
`----
Bye,
Tassilo

You seem to load a program in which `sort-fold-case' is bound to
some value by `let' and uses some sort function to be autoloaded.
For instance, I can reproduce a similar error by `emacs -Q' and
the following form:
(with-temp-buffer
(let ((sort-fold-case t))
(sort-lines nil (point-min) (point-max)))
(sort-lines nil (point-min) (point-max)))
The first `sort-lines' autoloads sort.elc which provides the
`sort-fold-case' variable, however the variable disappears after
exiting the `let' form. After performing this, the feature
`sort' is provided, so the form `(require 'sort)' does nothing.
Such a code should be written like the following so that the
`sort-fold-case' variable may exist before it is bound by `let'.
(require 'sort)
(let ((sort-fold-case t))
(sort-lines nil (point-min) (point-max)))
There is no culprit in the Gnus sources. I guess you will
probably be able to find it by performing grep. For example:
grep '(sort-fold-case' ~/.emacs ~/.gnus.el
grep '(sort-fold-case' /.../site-lisp/*.el

Thanks for the clarifications.
The culprit is emms-browser.el. I'll report it on their list.
Bye and thanks,
