When I put the cursor on the first `(' and type either `C-M-f' or `C-M-n', I get the following error: Scan error: "Unbalanced parentheses", 530, 584 (530 is where I put the cursor, 584 is (point-max).) I assume this is due to the following line in gnus-article-mode-syntax-table: (modify-syntax-entry ?< "(>" table) -------->8---------- As far as I'm aware, this (mis)behavior remains; at least it's in my latest build: GNU Emacs 22.0.50.17 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.8.10) of 2006-06-11 on escher. The error is likewise raised by clicking with mouse-1 on the left parenthesis in sexps like this: (looking-at "\\<") (Clicking on the right parenthesis highlights the string backwards through '<').
