I can confirm this bug, as the original reporter, I've tried removing all traces of customization, but the bug remains. It started when the emacs-vm was updated some days ago. I've since tried to roll back the update, but have been unable to find the previous version anywhere. OK, I can reproduce this. Also, the problem goes away if you do a M-x load-file and load vm-pine.el. Will look into it. These new builds fix the problem for me: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=983123 It's be helpful if you could test them - you can pull them directly from koji, and I'll push them as updates to updates-testing. emacs-vm-8.0.12-3.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/emacs-vm-8.0.12-3.fc10 emacs-vm-8.0.12-3.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/emacs-vm-8.0.12-3.fc9 emacs-vm-8.0.12-3.fc8 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 8. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/emacs-vm-8.0.12-3.fc8 Just tested the fc9 version of the update, and it fixes the problem. This is kind of weird. As I read it, vm-decode-postponed-mime-message has nothing to do specifically with the "postponed message" feature: it seems to be the way that VM yanks *any* mime attachment into the reply buffer.
This probably has something to do with this entry from the NEWS file:
* Yanking of messages uses the same MIME decoding as the presentation
now. See the new variable `vm-mime-yank-attachments' to configure if
attachments are also yanked.
BK, the code is available at http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/viewmail/. It looks like there was a significant change from 8.0.11 to 8.0.12 that introduced the above weirdness.
So I guess the quick fix is to make sure that vm-pine is loaded before that line in vm-reply.el gets executed.
By the way, if anybody else is annoyed by the new feature that offers to save a message buffer when you try to kill it, (setq vm-save-killed-message nil) will fix it. (I'm not sure why this is turned on by default now; it wasn't before.)
WFM, Fedora 10. Thanks! F10 version also tested now, and works as well. Jonathan: Thanks for the quick response and fix. (And I really appreciate having VM as a package, I rolled my own for over 10 years before finding it when I updated from f7 to f9.) Joe: I was looking for an older version of the package, hoping I wouldn't have to start rolling my own again. As annoying as this bug was, I'm still really happy that work has started on VM again, it was pretty dead for a couple years. emacs-vm-8.0.12-3.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. emacs-vm-8.0.12-3.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. emacs-vm-8.0.12-3.fc9 has been pushed to the Fedora 9 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. Joe, BK: Thanks for the testing, much appreciated. |
