Is it possible to use run-hooks in those Emacs versions? Yes, but it won't always be correct.
Maybe Gnus can do something like: (or (fboundp 'run-mode-hooks) (defalias 'run-mode-hooks 'run-hooks)) Definitely not! Gnus should not mess with the way Emacs defines (or doesn't define) these functions! Gnus should define a function called gnus-run-mode-hooks, which calls run-mode-hooks if that is defined, otherwise run-hooks. Then all the modes in Gnus could use gnus-run-mode-hooks. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
