Good! There's no longer a separate git repo for Gnus -- it is developed
within the Emacs repository. Unfortunately this means that you won't get
the fix until it's committed to Emacs and then comes back down whatever
pipeline you use to install Emacs.

It also means I'm a wee bit more hesitant about committing directly -- I
have access, but would prefer to open a bug report and get more eyes.
I'll do that in a bit.

I did get your other email, but I suppose this is a fine place to work
it out.

If you've loaded gnorb-gnus I don't see how
`gnus-user-format-function-g' could be undefined. That file contains, at
top-level, this form:


(fset (intern (concat "gnus-user-format-function-"
		      gnorb-gnus-summary-mark-format-letter))
      (lambda (header)
	(gnorb-gnus-insert-format-letter-maybe header)))

Which should do the trick.

The various Gnorb pieces are usable independently, meaning you have to
explicitly run (require 'gnorb-gnus). I'm assuming you've done that...
If it still doesn't work, would you eval the snippet above? It will have
to work then!
