What on earth might have derailed it for me? For example: In this composition buffer, pressing C-h nothing shows in the echo area. Finish by pressing `m' so I've pressed C-h m and the expected buffer pops up but nothing ever showed up in echo area. I can't think of recent local changes that might cause this but I really have no idea of where to start looking. I can say that in another emacs instance running next to this one that happens to have a perl script in it, pressing C-h there shows C-h within a second in echo area. So seems it may be related to gnus or to message-mode. Both instances are started from the same init files.
