Your Emacs installation must be really out of whack! First you see strange stuff with Gnus, now your AUC-TeX doesn't have the TeX-command-default variable. I'm afraid of a more fundamental problem with your Emacs installation. When you open a *.tex file (containing LaTeX source code), do you see a `LaTeX' and a `Command' menu bar item? If so, then you should be using AUC-TeX, and there surely a TeX-command-default variable is defined. Type C-h v TeX-command-default RET from that *.tex buffer. What does Emacs say? -- ~/.signature is: umop ap!sdn (Frank Nobis)
