bug#11625: 24.1.50; Gnus: MIME messages are no longer handled

[Stefan Reichör]

Hi!

After upgrading to the latest Emacs I have a major problem in GNUS:
messages in MIME format are no longer handled as before. Now I see all
alternatives as plain text, e.g.:

,----
| This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
| 
| --a8edf5ea92b84843a6e764149d3f7d56
| Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
| Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
`----

Please note that I also have a problem with auth-source.el (I can no
longer get mails). I fixed this problem by using an older version of
this auth-source.el. Not sure if this problem is related.

Stefan.

[Stefan Reichör]

I am using a git mirror. Therefore I used git bisect to find the last
working revision. It was the commit from Paul Eggert (Tue May 29 14:33:38 2012 -0700)

Starting with the commit from Stefan Monnier (Tue May 29 23:59:42 2012 -0400) things
fail for me.

[Stefan Monnier]

There was a bug that caused incorrect compilation.  It was fixed a while
ago, but you'll have to recompile some of the files.  If you have the
patience, "make bootstrap" should do the trick.

I already built my emacs version using "make bootstrap".
Using the latest version from the git mirror:

I have the problem, that loading an old version of auth-source.el fixes
the number-or-marker-p error below, but Gnus MIME messages are no longer handled.

I'll try again in a few days and report back.

Thanks for your help!

That's very odd, and sounds like an installation problem.

Do you have older bits of Gnus/Emacs files in your load path that shades
other bits?  Try starting Emacs with "emacs -Q" to avoid local
customisations and see whether the problem goes away.

Stefan and Lars: Thanks for looking into this problem.

Today's emacs build from git works again :)

So this problem seems to be related to some build problems.

This bug should be closed.
