I don't know what's happening in XEmacs 21.5, but I simply groped how to make Gnus work correctly. The reason I said it is a syntax-table bug is because the copy-syntax-table function doesn't copy modified syntax entries as I wrote a comment in the dgnushack,el file: ;; The original `with-syntax-table' uses `copy-syntax-table' which ;; doesn't seem to copy modified syntax entries in XEmacs 21.5. (let ((table (copy-syntax-table emacs-lisp-mode-syntax-table))) (modify-syntax-entry ?= " " table) (with-temp-buffer (with-syntax-table table (insert "foo=bar") (goto-char (point-min)) (forward-sexp 1) (buffer-substring (point) (point-max))))) => "" And I've redefined the with-syntax-table macro there so that it doesn't use copy-syntax-table when building Gnus. Since it is no more than a makeshift, I am willing to remove it if there is a better way. -- Katsumi Yamaoka
