From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010913 Description of problem: I cannot get elm to save messages that it has sent to the sent folder with the 'out of the box' rpm either 2.5 pl 3 or 2.5 pl6. this could be a documentation bug. I can explicitly move messages to the sent folder Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run elm 2.send an email 3.c< see that it's empty! Actual Results: there's nothing in the folder =sent Expected Results: message that was sent should be in the folder. Additional info: this is causing me some grief as I do need to track what email I've sent, and I use the command line version of elm extensively. I don't think that this is constrained to rh7.1
Can you the version from http://people.redhat.com/teg/elm/, and see if it helps?
this makes no difference. If it helps, here's my options for the one you pointed me at: -- ELM Options Editor -- D)isplay mail using : builtin+ E)ditor (primary) : /usr/bin/emacs F)older directory : /home/tim/Mail S)orting criteria : Reverse-Sent O)utbound mail saved : =sent P)rint mail using : /usr/bin/lp V)isual Editor (~v) : /usr/bin/emacs A)rrow cursor : OFF M)enu display : ON U)ser level : Beginning User N)ames only : ON --- I'm going to need to change that - I don't spk emacs :-) cheers tim
fixed this now. there was no ~/.elm/elmrc. I had tried rpm -e elm followed by rpm -i elm-2.5.5* shouldn't the installation either put in a relevant elmrc, or tell the installer to do so? tc
Installations of packages shouldn't touch personal home directories. Closing, it's a local configuration issue.
