Absolutely normal. I know these "dead ends" myself -- you at

It calls the age macro
define age {
\if $version-hexnum -lt 0x0E00A000 && [ $version-hexnum -lt 0x0E009018
|| $features !% ,+devel, ]
\echoerr "Program too old: $0"
\xit 42
\en
}
But the *on-compose-leave* hook is completely v14.10, just do
unset on-compose-leave
(or remove the "on-compose-leave=on-compose-leave" at first).

Oh, "EED - the experienced user knows what is wrong", that was in
the GNU C info manual ~25 years ago. (My Linux has not info pages
installed.) This is very hard.
I tried to use Sam -- Douglas McIlroy was a famous nail and Sam
user (he now is also all-graphical on the email side at least) --
http://sam.cat-v.org/
aka
https://doc.cat-v.org/plan_9/4th_edition/papers/sam/
Sam is fantastic, and has much superior regular expressions.
But i am incapable to go with that, either. :(
