nntp-request-create-group

[Harry Putnam]

Lately this message shows up when mailing to this list:
No such function: nntp-request-create-group

I use the actual mailing list and not the nntp setup for 'ding'.

Not sure what I may have meddled with, that is causing this message.
It happens in a couple of other nnml groups too.

Searched the gnus *.el files for that string with no luck, same goes
for all init files  .emacs, .gnus and site-start.el.  No hits on that
string.  So where might it be comming from?

Seems as if gnus thinks my nnml.ding group is nntp.

Is this message likely to be comming from the nntp server.
I find no hits on it, on my local setup.

`(setq debug-on-error t)', repeat the bug and mail me the resulting
backtrace.

I found the cause of this message.
Checking 'G p' on  'nnml:mail.ding' group  revealed the problem.

I had set up another group to catch gcc's for 'mail.ding' (making them
easier to find) nnml:ding-reply.

But when setting that parameter with 'G p' I left off the 'nnml' part,
as below: 

((to-address . " ding@gnus.org")
 (to-list . " ding@gnus.org")
 (visible . t)
 (gcc-self . "ding-reply"))       <== incorrect 
 (gcc-self . "nnml:ding-reply"))  <== correct


Apparently, without the preceeding 'nnml:' then gnus thinks it is an
attempt to setup an nntp group.
