Same here: M M e is undefined

I guess, that's already the reason.  The keyboard macro fails because
the start of the macro's key sequence doesn't invoke any command.

Is is possible that you are running two different Gnus versions on the
two computers, i.e., in one version M M e is bound to something and in
one it is not?  (I use the latest Gnus version from Git, and there M M
e is not bound neither in the summary nor in the article buffer.)

Anyway, what does `C-h k M M e' show in a summary/article buffer on the
computer where your macro still works?
