Hello- I am only working with Gnus 5.5, so I don't know if this is fixed in Quassia, but given the discussion on xemacs-beta, it doesn't seem to be. In `message-make-fqdn', we get the result of `message-user-mail-address'. This can be nil, but we don't check that in `message-make-fqdn'. Here is the patch (and ChangeLog) against 5.5. I don't know the right way to handle this in XEmacs 19.16, 20.3 (pre-release), or the Gnus development cycle. I assume that Steve and Lars can work that out.
