Platform: pgnus 0.97, XEmacs 20.4 w/MULE, BBDB 2.00.3
I tried upgrading from 0.84 to 0.97, but all commands for sending
messages (reply, followup and gnus-bug) resulted in the error message:
Symbol's value as variable is void: user-full-name
in the minibuffer accompanied by a beep.
(I'm back to 0.84 to be able to post this)
Can BBDB be the culprit, I wonder...?
Any ideas and/or fixes are welcome!
Thanx!

Have you set user-full-name? Check by typing C-h v user-full-name.
If its nil, you need to set it.

There is no such variable in my xemacs 20.4.
Where does it come from? Where is it supposed to be defined.

No. What is probably happening is that code is trying to use the
variable, but lisp code should _always_ use the function.

Ah! It is available as a function.
So who's the culprit? pgnus 0.97 or bbdb? Any quick and easy way to
find out?

Since downgrading back to p0.84 eliminates the problem, it would seem
pGnus is at fault.
A quick "grep -n user-full-name *.el" in my pGnus area coughed up this:
gnus-msg.el:1197: (let ((user-full-name ,(or (cdr name) user-full-name))
lpath.el:48: font-lock-defaults user-full-name user-login-name
message.el:47: (user-full-name custom-variable))
message.el:54:(put 'user-full-name 'custom-type 'string)
message.el:2859: (or (and (boundp 'user-full-name)
message.el:2860: user-full-name)
message.el:2861: (user-full-name))))
nneething.el:310: (user-full-name uid)
nneething.el:312: (cond ((= uid (user-uid)) (user-full-name))
I don't have p0.84 around any more; does it use user-full-name in the
same way?

Please set debug-on-error to t (Options menu => General Options) and
show us the lisp backtrace.

Search both for the string `user-full-name' and see where it is used
as a variable, not a function.

Hello Steinar,
Its somewhat documented in the info for message. I have the following
in my .gnus, and I'll be honest - I don't remember where I got it from.
;;; smtpmail
(setq user-full-name "Jody Klymak")
Cheers, Jody

I found it. It happens in gnus-configure-posting-styles.
Lars has reimplemented it in 0.86.

This is all I got (aren't these backtraces usually a lot longer...?):
Signaling: (void-variable user-full-name)
gnus-configure-posting-styles()
run-hooks((lambda nil (iso-accents-mode t) (auto-fill-mode 1)) gnus-configure-posting-styles)
message-mode()
message-pop-to-buffer("*mail*")
message-mail()
gnus-group-mail(nil)
call-interactively(gnus-group-mail)
Hm... the problem is indeed in posting styles, as Shenghuo ZHU found
out further up.

Hm... is this this bit (starting at gnus-msg.el:1196)...?
...
(add-hook 'message-setup-hook
`(lambda ()
(let ((user-full-name ,(or (cdr name) user-full-name))

,(or (cdr address) user-mail-address)))
(save-excursion

...
Aren't the things in let clauses sort of local variables? Isn't it
allowed to overload a function name with a local variable?

Are there newer release versions than 20.4?

Indeed. But how would/should the syntax look like for this?
...
(add-hook 'message-setup-hook
`(lambda ()
(let ((user-full-name ,(or (cdr name) user-full-name))
(user-mail-address
,(or (cdr address) user-mail-address)))
(save-excursion
(message-remove-header "From")
(message-goto-eoh)
(insert "From: " (message-make-from) "\n")))))))))
...
Should user-full-name be surrounded by parantheses for it to be a
function call, I wonder...? (correct guess: lisp isn't my strongest
side)
