Thanks Nick for your reply. This ties in with my bug report of
2014-10-27 06:56 Bug: org-columns-compile-format [8.2.10
(release_8.2.10-1-g8b63dc @ /home/boudiccas/git/org-mode/lisp/)]
which showed the back-trace of the problem. That back-trace is still
valid for this new bug report, as the problem still remains.
It is not a gnus-problem alone as I also get the error report when
opening some org-mode pages.
"For the last couple of days I have been unable to send any emails through
gnus, or any followups to a newsgroup, because the buffer which should contain
the headers of the message and my signature have been completely blank and
empty, with just "Wrong type argument: stringp, 1" showing in the mini-buffer.
On several of my org-mode files, when opening them I get this error message
showing in the mini-buffer - "org-columns-compile-format: Wrong type argument:
stringp, 1"."

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp 1)
