Subject: 23.1.50; Symbol's value as variable is void: mail-envelope-from
Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:58:16 +0100

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give
a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':

When gnus is invoked, it fails with this error:

eval: Symbol's value as variable is void: mail-envelope-from

If this line is commented out from custom-set-variables on my .emacs:

'(message-send-mail-function (quote smtpmail-send-it))

the error does not happen.

This is the backtrace:
