delete to begin of line

delete to begin of line

[Frank Tegtmeyer]

Hi,

for several months I had the following in my .emacs file:

;; Keyboard macro
 (defalias 'delete-to-begin-of-line
 (read-kbd-macro "C-SPC C-a C-w"))
 (global-set-key "\C-o" 'delete-to-begin-of-line)

Yesterday without any visible reason Gnus (Gnus/5.0807 (Gnus v5.8.7)
XEmacs/21.1 (Cuyahoga Valley)) started to print errors during reading
and writing mails.

When opening a mail message it showed:
Wrong type argument: arrayp, -A

The same during writing a mail. It also placed the cursor in colum
1 of the To: header.

Is there a better way to implement "delete to begin of line", or is it
already somewhere?

Regards, Frank

Sorry, this was not the reason.

The reason was BBDB - when I remove all bbdb settings, it works
again.

C-0 C-k can do it.  Except that it works different from C-SPC C-a C-w
in message mode in a header, because C-a in message-mode does not do
beginning-of-line...
