I believe this problem with Gnus is related [1]. It's caused because in the emacs CVS trunk (functionp 'if) evales to nil now, because `if' is no function but a special form. That's reasonable, so flyspell's code should be adapted accordingly.

Why don't you use the version of flyspell included in your Emacs version? Although the web page says "Date: Jan 2008", my impression from glancing over the diffs is the version in Emacs CVS is more up to date. If not, it would be nice if the author (Manuel Serrano, cc-ed), submits his changes to Emacs CVS as well.

"Bad" habit ;-) of trying to update all of my locally copied packages (downloaded from Internet) from time to time... Why am I not relying on CVS trunk? In fact, I'm only using pre-compiled and packaged versions: o the one from Alexandre Vassalotti for Ubuntu, and o the one available on ourcomments.org for Windows. And the reasons I have some packages locally copied are that: o Both Emacs versions are not always in sync' (up to some weeks ago, the W32 version was still Emacs 22, for example), having then different packages with them. o Some packages are easily included in Ubuntu (via Emacs goodies) while they aren't in Windows. o Though, the Emacs goodies packages are well a lot out of date (color-theme, etc.)... Because of this, I have some locally accessible packages that I am accessing from both Emacs (only one local copy, only one dot-emacs file). That being said, I dropped the latest `flyspell.el' file from my local repository, and yes - it seems to resolve my problems...
