Description of problem: When I hit "R" to reply to an email, vm yanks the message as it's supposed to. But it doesn't insert the ">"s properly, and it beeps and says, vm-yank-message: Symbol's function definition is void: vm-decode-postponed-mime-message in the minibuffer and in the *Messages* buffer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): emacs-vm-8.0.12-2.fc10.x86_64 emacs-22.2-5.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run emacs and vm as usual 2.hit R to reply to a message Actual results: vm yanks the message, doesn't put carets at the beginning of each line, beeps, and puts a message in *Messages* buffer. Expected results: vm yanks the message, puts carets at the beginning of each line, and doesn't beep Additional info: I can reproduce this even if I hide my .vm and .emacs, so I think those files are irrelevant. Perhaps vm-pine.el, where vm-decode-postponed-mime-message is getting defined, isn't being loaded properly? That's just a guess. This worked fine up until a couple days ago. If you cannot reproduce this, please let me know and I'll try to isolate the problem further.
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.
