gnus-truncate-string

[Shigeki Uno]

Hello, all.

I've never experienced following warning and can't find out
a solution.

I hit the key C-u space so that I can read old mails, but following
warning comin' up in the mini buffer:

 Symbol's function definition is void: gnus-truncate-string

Any suggestions ?

# I sent this mail using T-gnus, but it had gone somewhere. :-(

Unfortunatelly, this command does _not_ work.  

Emacs says that M-x remove-semi-gnus-stuff-from-quick-startup-file
[no match] *beep*

You must evaluate the function definition or put it in your .emacs
file impermanently.

You've used a chao/semi/t/whatever gnus which put stuff in your
.newsrc.eld which aren't defined in plain Gnus.

Just put something like

(defun gnus-truncate-string (str width &rest ignore)
  (substring str 0 width))

in your .emacs, start Gnus and save your .newsrc.eld to get rid of it.
