error with gnus-summary-copy-article

[Peter Münster]

Hi,

This is the first time, that I want to use `gnus-summary-copy-article',
but it does not work. I get this error:

gnus-get-function: Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, margin

Here is a backtrace:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-missing "Cannot open load file" "No such file or directory" "margin")
  require(margin)
  gnus-get-function((margin "") request-accept-article t)

  #f(compiled-function (elt) #<bytecode 0xbe4151>)("margin:0")

  seq-filter(gnus-valid-move-group-p (...))

  gnus-summary-move-article(nil nil nil copy)
  gnus-summary-copy-article(nil)
  funcall-interactively(gnus-summary-copy-article nil)
  call-interactively(gnus-summary-copy-article nil nil)
  command-execute(gnus-summary-copy-article)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

How could I solve this issue please?

TIA for any hints,

Apparently there is a group in your gnus-active-hashtb that is named
"margin:0"? That's pretty weird. Do you see a group with that name show
up anywhere else?

That function should probably call `require' with the NOERROR flag set,
but still, this is pretty weird.

Hi Eric,

There is no such group in ~/Mail but I've found this line in
~/Mail/active:

margin:0 0 0 y

After removing this entry and restarting emacs, the copy function works.

Thanks for your help!

Glad that got sorted! My next wild guess had to do with CSS selectors,
so it's a relief we didn't get there.
