mail forwarding not working
Art Werschulz
I recently upgraded from Emacs 22 to Emacs 23. Hence, I am now using
message-mode for sending mail, rather than message mode. I am still
using RMAIL to read mail.
My problem: Mail-forwarding seems to be broken. If I try to forward an
email msg, I get the following (debug-on-error is enabled):
------%<--%<--%<---cut here---%<--%<--%<----------------------------
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function mail-text-start)
mail-text-start()
rmail-forward(nil)
call-interactively(rmail-forward nil nil)
------%<--%<--%<---cut here---%<--%<--%<----------------------------
One more datum (which I just discovered): I tried forwarding a mail msg
after firing up GNUS. Now I get a buffer in which to send mail, but the
msg to be forwarded doesn't appear. Moreover, the minibuffer shows the
msg
rmail-forward: Symbol's function definition is void: mail-text-start
Note that I transferred over a couple of customizations that I had used
with mail-mode. There's a good chance that this may be the source of
the problem.
The first was as follows:
------%<--%<--%<---cut here---%<--%<--%<----------------------------
(setq message-send-hook
'(lambda ()
(mail-log-it)))
------%<--%<--%<---cut here---%<--%<--%<----------------------------
Here, mail-log-it is a function that writes some information to a
logfile. If anybody thinks that it would be helpful, I'll send along a
copy of mail-log-it.
The second is as follows:
------%<--%<--%<---cut here---%<--%<--%<----------------------------
(defun my-message-send-mail-function ()
(interactive)
(if (y-or-n-p "Really send? ")
(message-send-mail-with-sendmail)
(error "Send Aborted")))
(setq message-send-mail-function 'my-message-send-mail-function)
------%<--%<--%<---cut here---%<--%<--%<----------------------------
This allows me to change my mind before sending mail.
Any insight you might have would be *very* welcome! Thanks!
