definition void `message-strip-special-text-properties' with attachments

[clemens fischer]

with an attachment in a buffer, i could normally hit RETURN on it to
get asked where i wanted to save it, but now i get an error:

[2. application/x-gunzip; log.gz]...

Symbol's function definition is void:message-strip-special-text-properties

i cannot find this symbol anywhere, but the problem is reproducable on
every non-inlined attachment.  i have to use X-m to get them saved.

this is a recent CVS gnus on a not X configured freebsd-emacs.

What does rgrep say about this?  I get the following interesting
matches:

work/gnu/gnus/lisp/message.el:(defcustom message-strip-special-text-properties t
work/gnu/gnus/lisp/message.el:  (when (and message-strip-special-text-properties

Then there is a match in message.elc and one in ChangeLog.

i get the same output, but this has nothing to do with a function,
it's a boolean flag, which i didn't change from it's default (true).

i bet i did try to obtain a stack backtrace, which i sent in in an
earlier message.  this is weird:  your post is present here, but none
of mine.

btw, what is rgrep?

That's right!  So nothing in Gnus can be calling this function.
Therefore, the problem must be somewhere else.

Don't remember a stacktrace.

Weird.

GNU grep supports recursively searching directories.  You can do
"grep -r" to do this, I think.  If invoked as "rgrep", GNU grep does
like "grep -r".

so here goes.  with an attachment displayed like:

[2. image/gif; gehoer-ears.gif]...  pressing RETURN on it gives:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function message-strip-special-text-properties)
  message-strip-special-text-properties("gehoer-ears.gif")

  gnus-map-function((mm-file-name-trim-whitespace

                     message-strip-special-text-properties t)
                    "gehoer-ears.gif")

  mm-display-external((#<buffer *mm*<3>> ("image/gif") base64 nil
              ("attachment" (filename . "gehoer-ears.gif")) nil nil nil)

  call-interactively(gnus-article-press-button)

showpicture(1) is installed.  where does gnus-map-function get this
bull from?

(  aheam.  from my .emacs.  all the time i even glimpsed for this, but
   i didn't look into my own fschck' dot-emacs!!)

ok.  haul in the bloodhounds.  search is off for the night.  uhm.
getting cold these days ...

Isn't the following form in your .gnus file?

(setq mm-file-name-rewrite-functions
      '(mm-file-name-trim-whitespace
	mm-file-name-collapse-whitespace
	mm-file-name-replace-whitespace
	message-strip-special-text-properties t))

If so, didn't it originally mean the following?

(setq mm-file-name-rewrite-functions
      '(mm-file-name-trim-whitespace
	mm-file-name-collapse-whitespace
	mm-file-name-replace-whitespace)
      message-strip-special-text-properties t)

Since m-s-s-t-p's value is t by default, you don't need to
bother to specify it.

i did not find this article when i entered gmane.emacs.ding from
gnus.  did the article make it or not?  what could be the reason for
not finding my own articles when leafnode seems to be innocent?
