Subject: bug#39612: 26.3; rmail-summary-delete-forward: Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil
Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2020 20:19:04 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200215011904.8552080D81@alderaan.gsfc.nasa.gov> (raw)
I kept getting the error "Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil" if I
tried to delete a message immediate after retrieving new messages. I finally
figured out a solution. In `rmail-summary-delete-forward', please change:
(with-current-buffer rmail-buffer
(rmail-delete-message)
(setq del-msg rmail-current-message))
to
(with-current-buffer rmail-buffer
(setq del-msg rmail-current-message)
(rmail-delete-message))
For some inexplicable reason, rmail-current-message becomes nil after
executing `rmail-delete-message' *sometimes*. I'm not sure under what
circumstances it does though, so I can't give you a precise recipe to
reproduce it. Changing the order of these two forms completely fixes this
problem for me though. I would really appreciate it if someone committed this
minor change.
Is the `(rmail-summary-mark-deleted del-msg)' on the following line even
needed? rmail-delete-message calls rmail-summary-mark-deleted. Seems like
duplicate effort. If you get rid of that line, then you don't need the
del-msg variable at all, which would simplify this code considerably and also
eliminate the problem.
