I see nothing wrong in improving the error checking in selected parts of the code. Mistakes do happen and this time the type was correct when I set it. it was a lisp function symbol, but it wasn't fbound (I forgot to add autoload) so the Gnus went ahead to used it as shell command. Yes, It was my mistake, but it would have been good to test stringp/error before doing expand-file-name. That would have been more informative error. jari
