gnus-user-format-function-D in gnus-diary.el

[Reiner Steib]

Hi,

I got "Symbol's function definition is void:
gnus-user-format-function-D" when entering an nndiary group because
`gnus-diary-summary-line-format' contains "%uD" (and %ud).

I've added autoloads for `gnus-user-format-function-D' and
`gnus-user-format-function-d' now, but wouldn't it be better not to
use a *user* format function?  Is it possible to change this without
breaking existing configurations?

Bye, Reiner.

        That shouldn't happen if you properly loaded gnus-diary.el. Otherwise,
it probably means that you used it once, and the group parameters remained.

        Again, you shoudn't have to. If you have D or d in your summary line
format, then you should load gnus-diary somewhere in you init files.

        Since people are not required to use gnus-diary (they can just use
nndiary alone), I don't find it so bad to use a user format function (that's
what it is actually: gnus-diary is a convenience wrapper), all the more that
it is clearly explained in the doc. I don't know how I could do it otherwise.
Maybe a better solution exists, but it would sure break existing
configurations.
