Looking at `message-canlock-password' I can hardly believe that an error in message.el is responsible for that: ,---- | (defun message-canlock-password () | "The password used by message for cancel locks. | This is the value of `canlock-password', if that option is non-nil. | Otherwise, generate and save a value for `canlock-password' first." | (unless canlock-password | (customize-save-variable 'canlock-password (message-canlock-generate)) | (setq canlock-password-for-verify canlock-password)) | canlock-password) `---- Can you reproduce it? Maybe it's best to submit a bug report via `M-x gnus-bug RET'. I suspect something fishy in your setup. Maybe you can also edebug the functions `customize-save-variable' and/or `custom-save-all' to see what's happening.
