I was reading a newsgroup with Gnus, typed `n'
(gnus-summary-next-unread-article) to read the next article[1], and got
a wrong-type-argument error. The backtrace is attached. The error
occurs in rfc822-bad-address, when the first argument of
narrow-to-region, rfc822-address-start, is nil. The value is nil at
this point because rfc822-addresses calls rfc822-nuke-whitespace before
rfc822-address-start is assigned an initial value. Simply assigning an
initial non-nil in the let declaration does not work, because then
rfc822-bad-address tries to throw to 'address, but the corresponding
catch in rfc822-addresses has not yet been established -- that happens
after the call to rfc822-nuke-whitespace. I tried moving the catch
above the rfc822-nuke-whitespace call: in combination with an initial
value for rfc822-address-start, this allows rfc822-bad-address to return
an error string to rfc822-addresses -- see the patch below --, but the
caller in my setup, bbdb-rfc822-addresses, expects a list, so this
raises another wrong-type-argument error. If it is legitimate for
rfc822-bad-address to return a non-list value in this case, then the bug
is presumably in bbdb-rfc822-addresses (from bbdb-snarf.el, not part of
Emacs); but I don't know if this is the right diagnosis. If it is, I'll
report it to the BBDB list, and the patch below, or a better one, should
be applied to rfc822.el.

I don't see how rfc822-address-start could be nil. The code sets it to
(point) just before the call to rfc822-bad-address. Could you further
explain your reasoning?
(while (not (eobp))
(setq rfc822-address-start (point))
(setq tem
(catch 'address ; this is for rfc822-bad-address

(By the way, next time you mail a patch, please try not to change
whitespaces; that makes the patch very difficult to read. Thanks.)

The error occurs before that setq can be called, because
rfc822-bad-address is also called from rfc822-nuke-whitespace, and at
this point rfc822-address-start is nil. In more detail:
1. bbdb-rfc822-addresses is trying to parse this header:
(""Groß, Werner"") <W.F.Gross@t-online.de>
which presumably violates RFC822.
2. bbdb-rfc822-addresses calls rfc822-addresses, which turns the header
into this string:
(""Groß
and, after let-binding but before setq-ing rfc822-address-start,
3. calls rfc822-nuke-whitespace, which further truncates the header to:
(
and then calls
4. rfc822-bad-address, which tries to call narrow-to-region with
rfc822-address-start, which is still nil, as the beginning of the
region: BZZT!

Sorry. That was the result of doing indent-region, which I assume means
the existing indentation does not conform to Emacs conventions. Would
it be appropriate to submit a separate patch to correct that?

I was going to just resend my patch minus the inappropriate white space
changes. But upon reconsideration, I'm not confident that the patch I
sent previously DTRT. I'm not even sure what TRT is here: as I wrote in
my OP, my patch returns an error string as specified by
rfc822-bad-address, but the caller bbdb-rfc822-addresses expects a list,
so it still raises a wrong-type error. This happens when the relocated
catch sexp has scope to the end of the let that immediately encloses it
(patch (i) below). But I leave the catch in its existing position and
move rfc822-nuke-whitespace to within it (patch (ii) below), then no
error is raised, but also there's no indication of a bad address; yet
stepping through the code with edebug does pass through
rfc822-bad-address. So where should the catch be located? Hopefully
someone familiar (unlike me) with RFC 822 and rfc822.el, and ideally
also bbdb-rfc822-addresses, can answer that question and say whether
either of these patches is suitable, or provide a better one.

[-- Attachment #2.1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1412 bytes --]
I was reading a newsgroup with Gnus, typed `n'
(gnus-summary-next-unread-article) to read the next article[1], and got
a wrong-type-argument error. The backtrace is attached. The error
occurs in rfc822-bad-address, when the first argument of
narrow-to-region, rfc822-address-start, is nil. The value is nil at
this point because rfc822-addresses calls rfc822-nuke-whitespace before
rfc822-address-start is assigned an initial value. Simply assigning an
initial non-nil in the let declaration does not work, because then
rfc822-bad-address tries to throw to 'address, but the corresponding
catch in rfc822-addresses has not yet been established -- that happens
after the call to rfc822-nuke-whitespace. I tried moving the catch
above the rfc822-nuke-whitespace call: in combination with an initial
value for rfc822-address-start, this allows rfc822-bad-address to return
an error string to rfc822-addresses -- see the patch below --, but the
caller in my setup, bbdb-rfc822-addresses, expects a list, so this
raises another wrong-type-argument error. If it is legitimate for
rfc822-bad-address to return a non-list value in this case, then the bug
is presumably in bbdb-rfc822-addresses (from bbdb-snarf.el, not part of
Emacs); but I don't know if this is the right diagnosis. If it is, I'll
report it to the BBDB list, and the patch below, or a better one, should
be applied to rfc822.el.

I think this is the right approach; bbdb-rfc822-addresses should handle
the error. I've checked in your patch, thanks.
