Hope I'm not disturbing~ But I don't know whether this worth a bug report.

The package `emacs-color-theme' uses the stable release, released in 2006. In 2007, there's a commit fixing a bug (for me, the bug causes conflict with Gnus), but the upstream didn't release a new version since then. So I would suggest on using a snapshot version --- I fixed that bug myself.

Following is more about that bug and how I fixed it:

Function `replace-in-string' is provided in XEmacs but not GNU Emacs, so the author of color-theme defined his own. Yes, he checks whether the function exists. Gnus also defined one, but the name is `mm-replace-in-string'. Gnus checks whether `replace-in-string' is present, and if it does, the `mm-' is just an alias to that.

All right, Eh? But the author of color-theme defined the function different from XEmacs did. So Gnus was confused, then it complained about something like "wrong number of arguments" when using it --- for example, when EasyPG is trying to verify a PGP/MIME signature.

I fixed that by renaming the defun in color-theme.el to `color-theme-replace-in-string', by adding a sed line in the build() function before the compilation.

You should submit a bug report to make sure the maintainer is aware of this.

Applied in -6. But Eric's hint was correct for future requests like this, I read this list very rarely. Regards Stefan
