I stumbled over this too, seeing how earlier this morning my [bbdb:
links ] in org files refused work. (I don't use that daily, clearly!)

Looking in my init.el "customisation" section, I see org-bbdb,
org-bibtex, org-docview, org-gnus, org-info, org-irc, org-mhe,
org-rmail, and org-w3m. Did I put those there? I guess.

So, I remove these, but even though I restarted Emacs, now the value of
org-modules is nil. Whereas the documentation says the orginal value is
all of the above - except entitled ol-$name instead of org-$name. So,
should I add all of these modules back via customization?


Org mode version 9.3

Hi Gijs, hi the list,


I am  interested in this  question because I  met a similar  problem few
weeks     ago,     when    I     tried     to     use    Doom     Emacs:
https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/issues/2708  where   ol-gnus  are
used.

Now I'm back  with a simple version  of emacs (26.3) and it  seems to me
that there  is mention in my  setup neither of "org-gnus"  nor "ol-gnus"
and my org-links work smoothly for gnus articles. 


Best wishes,

I suggest you remove any previous customization then customize back
again if you need some, that should tidy up things in this area.

HTH,
