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"." --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp 1) string-match("%\\([0-9]+\\)?\\([[:alnum:]_-]+\\)\\(?:(\\([^)]+\\))\\)?\\(?:{\\([^}]+\\)}\\)?\\s-*" 1 0) org-columns-compile-format(1) org-columns-get-format(1) org-columns(1) (lambda nil (org-columns 1))() run-hooks(change-major-mode-after-body-hook text-mode-hook outline-mode-hook org-mode-hook) apply(run-hooks (change-major-mode-after-body-hook text-mode-hook outline-mode-hook org-mode-hook)) run-mode-hooks(org-mode-hook) org-mode() set-auto-mode-0(org-mode nil) #[0 "\302\242\237\211\205.
