It comes > from gnus-msg.el, line 1497 or so, if I'm not mistaken. This code: (condition-case () (pp `(setq ,(car olist) ,(if (or (consp (setq sym (symbol-value (car olist)))) (and (symbolp sym) (not (or (eq sym nil) (eq sym t))))) (list 'quote (symbol-value (car olist))) (symbol-value (car olist)))) (current-buffer)) (error (format "(setq %s 'whatever)\n" (car olist)))) First of all -- I have no idea why that `condition-case' is the way it is. I didn't know that `format' had any effect? Does it? And if it doesn't, why is that code that way? If nobody has an explanation, I'll just remove the `format'. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
