Thank you for this very nice trick! I was able to figure out the issue
happens when loading my custom.el. I find two lines mentioning gnus
there:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
 '(gnus-auto-select-subject (quote unread))
 '(gnus-buttonized-mime-types (quote ("multipart/signed")))
#+end_src

I guess I should try to delay the loadig of custom.el until after I have
loaded gnus. I'll try this next.

(Later ...)

Yes, I confirm that loading gnus before custom.el works.

Thanks again,

Alan
