Local variable handling
Hi!
Since approximately last weekend (sorry, can't nail it done closer) I
see an error in Gnus v5.10.3 independent of the XEmacs version, 21.4.13
or 21.5-b13.
I've asked on the Gnus mailing list

| But it gets unbound by (gnus-msg.el, rev 6.135, line 947):

and got the following answer from Dave Love:

| I haven't checked the code, but if I understand correctly, that's

Has anything changed recently which might trigger this behaviour?
Thanks,
