problem sending mail

[Fabrice Gamberini]

Hello,

I have been unsig emacs, actually NT-emacs (version 20.4.1) on this 
win95 machine for some time, and I finally decided to try and install 
gnus 5.8, because of its MIME capabilities.

I am only intending to use Gnus for mail, no news server here. Anyway, 
reading (pop3) mail is working great, nnml is really fine. The problem 
I have is when I tried to send a test email, it didn't work. Apparently 
something wrong happens when the User-Agent line is automatically added 
to the header.


Activating debug on error gives the followin backtrace:

Signaling: (args-out-of-range 1 1)
  pos-visible-in-window-p()
  (and jiggle-enabled (not executing-kbd-macro) 
(pos-visible-in-window-p))

(pos-visible-in-window-p)) (progn (let ... ...)))

  (let (ad-return-value) (setq ad-return-value (ad-Orig-kill-buffer

ad-return-value)

  message-send-via-mail(nil)
  message-send(nil)
  message-send-and-exit(nil)

it seems to be related to that jiggle thingie, but I don't really know 
what would the next step be ...

Thanks

Turn off the jiggle thingie, then check that the error goes away?

Yup.  Fix in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.91.

Problem sending mail

[Bruce Z. Lysik]

Hi folks.  I'm unable to send news at all.  First some data: pgnus
0.87, XEmacs 20.4.

When I try C-c C-c to send I get an error.  Here's the backtrace:

Signaling: (error "Illegal address: nil")
  signal(error ("Illegal address: nil"))
  cerror("Illegal address: %s" nil) 
  apply(cerror ("Illegal address: %s" nil))
  error("Illegal address: %s" nil)
  mail-extract-address-components(nil)
  message-check-news-header-syntax()
  message-check-news-syntax() 
  message-send-news(nil) 
  message-send-via-news(nil) 
  message-send(nil)
  message-send-and-exit(nil)
  call-interactively(message-send-and-exit)

This error only occurs when pgnus reads my .gnus.el file.  But I can't 
find anything in it that is incorrect.  Following my signature is the
file.  (Since I can't figure out how to use MIME to attach it.)

Any help is appreciated.
