Oort Gnus 0.16 - failing on HTML...

[Per-Karsten Nordhaug <pnordhaug@tiscali.no>]

Heya, all.

Whenever I try to read a html-formatted mail or news posting, gnus
crashes on me, giving the following error:


Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function mailcap-parse-mailcaps)

Here's what I have in my .gnus.el to handle html:

;; Display HTML inline but don't use w3 - handle it as text dump through w3m

(defun mm-display-html-inline (handle)
  (let (text)
    (mm-with-unibyte-buffer
      (mm-insert-part handle)
      (save-window-excursion
        (shell-command-on-region
         (point-min) (point-max) "w3m -T text/html -dump" t)
        (setq text (buffer-string))))
    (mm-insert-inline handle text)))

(add-to-list 'mm-inline-media-tests
             '("text/html" mm-display-html-inline identity))


Any suggestions on how to correct this behavior ?
