Subject: mh-e fails to load, "void-variable message-mark-insert-begin"

Package: mh-e
Version: 7.85-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Having just upgraded a lot of packages, I now get a
"Lisp error: (void-variable message-mark-insert-begin)"
error when trying to load mh-e from my .emacs file.

The full trace has lots of nasty binary data, but the
rough trace goes:

load mh-e -> mh-utils -> mh-customize -> mh-comp -> mh-gnus -> mm-uu

and in mm-uu:

(defvar mm-uu-type-alist ...
where we run into the void-variable message-mark-insert-begin.

Maybe something changed in gnus?
