Hi all,

when referring the parent article of some message in some IMAP group, I
get the following error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)

As you can see, nnir is used because I have

(setq gnus-refer-article-method
      '(current	(nnregistry) (nnir)))

This seems to happen reproducible, so I can provide any specifics if needed.

Ah, and it seems nnir has actually found the referred article.  It's
inserted in the summary and it's opened in an Article buffer.  However,
the error seems to prevent that buffer to be shown and font-locking and
header hiding to be performed in there, i.e., when switching there I can
see the raw message with all headers all in black on white.

Bye,
Tassilo

I use Gnus from git.  I guess that change will propagate there somehow.
