Cannot save attachments.

[Jay Dresser]

I used to be able to save attachments, but now it does not work.

I can open them, and if it takes me to LibreOffice I can Save As.

If I Mouse2 on the attachment link it opens the Save As dialog and I click OK but it fails.

If I type "e <RET>" it also fails.

In both cases it prints.

mu4e~proc-escape: Wrong type argument: arrayp, nil

The doc for that function says that it escapes strings, but I don't see anything in the filename or anything worth escaping.

I do have (setq mu4e-attachment-dir  "~/Downloads")

set per the manual.

Any clues as to what this could be?

What version are you using? And can you do an M-x toggle-debug-on-error,
then try to reproduce and share the backtrace?

Cheers,
Dirk.

Hmm, that's odd, seems the call the mu4e~proc-extract does not include the
fourth parameter. Note sure how that could happen...

(mu4e~proc-extract
'save (mu4e-message-field msg :docid) index mu4e-decryption-policy fpath)

Can you try again with 0.9.11?

Cheers,
Dirk.

That seemed to do it.

The problem is fixed in 0.9.11.

Thanks again.
