Perhaps that is what throws the spanner?
Hm, well, maybe. The problem is that some variable that's intended to contain the user name as a string actually contains the symbol mail-user-name. I've just grepped the emacs and gnus sources, and there the symbol mail-user-name doesn't occur at all, so it's some local customization of yours or maybe a third-party package that causes the issue. But you can use `apropos-value' to find variables that contain a value whose print representation matches a given regex. So what does M-x apropos-value RET ^mail-user-name$ RET list?
