Hi everyone,

  I have a problem with a function I wrote to sort Subjects on number of lines
of the article. I changed gnus-Subject-sort-by-number a little bit, using
nntp-header-lines instead of nntp-header-number as the sorting criteria.
Apparently nntp-header-lines and nntp-header-number are macro's (?). 

  The problem is that after loading my own sort function and calling it in
Subject mode, everything works fine, and the headers are sorted. As soon as I
load a byte-compiled version of this function, it doesn't work anymore!!! It
gives me the message: Invalid function: (macro lambda etc....)

  How come it worked uncompiled and doesn't compiled and what can I do about
it so it will work compiled?

Thanks for any help.
