bug#7514: 24.0.50; gnus-output-to-mail: Symbol's value as variable is void: nnmail-pathname-coding-system

[Miles Bader]

  (1) Make a "message" composition buffer with `M-x message-mail'.

  (2) Add an FCC header like "FCC: /tmp/ackkk"

  (3) Fill in To:, etc however you want; my buffer looked like:

---------------- start ----------------
To: nobody@example.com
Subject: oink
FCC: /tmp/ackkkk
From: Miles Bader <miles@dhlpc061.dev.necel.com>
--text follows this line--

-- 
Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra.  Suddenly it flips over,
pinning you underneath.  At night the ice weasels come.  --Nietzsche
---------------- end ----------------

  (4) Send the message with "C-c C-c"

  (5) It will prompt you "Create /tmp/ack?"; answer "y"

  (6) An error is signalled:

      gnus-output-to-mail: Symbol's value as variable is void: 
nnmail-pathname-coding-system


Thanks,

-miles
