Problems replying to Eudora emails

Problems replying to Eudora emails

[Chris Halverson]

My brother uses Eudora 5.1 Pro on Windows for email. Whenever he sends
me something, I cannot reply correctly. I am using Gnus CVS version
and am still having problems. I installed Eudora on my laptop and
tried it myself (my brother has a history of "fixing" things, so I
needed to verify :). The sample email is:

When I try to reply, I get a Signaling: (wrong-type-argument stringp
nil) error. Gnus drops me into the CC line w/ the To line filled in
correctly as well as the Subject and references line. A backtrace
follows:

Any ideas? These are the _only_ emails that I have problems with.

Thanks!!

I can't reproduce the error, FWIW.  

It appears that you're using something called 'gnus-personality', which
isn't part of Gnus.  Do you still get the error if you don't load that
package?

*sigh*

Yep, that did it. I've used that for so long that I kinda forgot about
it. I don't really it need it anymore, so I guess I will just leave it
out. Thanks!
