Bug: [8.2.10 (8.2.10-1-g8b63dc-elpa @ /home/boudiccas/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20141027/)]

[Sharon Kimble]

Thinking that the problem  was in corruption in my git download, I
downloaded a fresh git setup, but the problem still remains. So
I've installed org-mode from ELPA, but the problem still remains. I
am still unable to send emails through gnus, and the error report is
still occurring in many places whilst in daily usage.

There are a few problems with your bug report[fn:1].

First, you don't describe the problem or the error at all (maybe you did
in some earlier post, but please don't assume that anybody is going to
go back and search the list in order to divine your meaning).  I, for
one, have no idea what problem and error report you are talking about,
partially because I'm not keeping up with the mailing list, partially
because I'm getting old and decrepit and my memory ain't what it used to
be.

But in addition, why do you think this is an org-mode problem? Surely, gnus is
the more likely culprit, no?

Footnotes:

[fn:1] The orgmode site has some pointers to useful guides: Simon
Tatham's "How to Send Bug Reports Effectively" and Eric Raymond's
and Rick Moen's "How to Ask Questions the Smart Way". The former
is in the "How to contribute to Org" page; the latter is on the
front page.

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"."

Well, org-columns takes an optional string as argument, not an integer,
so whoever does (org-columns 1) is wrong, presumably one of the functions in
your org-mode-hook.
