Subject: bug#6081: 23.1; emacs23 and etach
Date: Sun, 2 May 2010 22:15:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5896-Sun02May2010221507+0200-enno.vet@gmx.net> (raw)
New rmail.el isn't compatible with etach.el (J. Rulnick's MIME extension for emacs) anymore.
The change in the file format from BABYL to mbox isn't necessary the culprit, but the introduction of rmail-attr-array seems to be crucial: apparently it offers only 8 possible different 'attributes', and the `detached' attribute that etach wants to make use of is not among them. Thus rmail complains: "Unknown attribute `detached'", and etach cannot carry on with its business. Trying to simply add the `detached' attribute to rmail-attr-array -- with my extremely limited knowledge of lisp -- merely leads to further different errors, like rmail's "Warning: corrupt attribute header in message". Trying to add the attribute as a label instead doesn't work either.
Alas, if there is no working etach or similar tool available to DETACH attachments from the rmail file (i.e. to save them elsewhere, not within the RMAIL file), my humble self and all the other folk complaining about this very problem will have to go without emacs as a mailer and switch to mutt or something else in the future :(
