Package: emacs21
Version: 21.1-4
Severity: normal
Hi,
In my .gnus file, I have:
(setq old-gnus-visible-headers gnus-visible-headers)
(setq gnus-visible-headers nil)
(add-to-list 'gnus-ignored-headers "^Content-Length:")
(add-to-list 'gnus-ignored-headers "^Content-Disposition:")
...
This now causes the message:
Error in ~/.gnus: (void-variable gnus-visible-headers)
And if I comment out the first line, then I get the same message about
gnus-ignored-headers.
These are still valid variables, defined in the gnus source, so, my
guess would be that the startup sequence for gnus has changed, and now
the .gnus file is loaded earlier, before these variables have a chance
to get loaded. But I think it's a bug because it used to work. (I
think it was working in 21.1-2, in fact, but I might be mistaken about
that.)
