The individual messages are processed correctly. emacs -Q M-x rmail RET C-u g foo RET does not work correctly. Emacs says "No mail". If the RMAIL buffer was empty originally, the raw Babyl file is dumped into the buffer. If there was mail originally, there is no apparent change in the RMAIL buffer, but the Babyl file is invisibly appended to the end of the file. At the least, Emacs should refuse to get new mail from a Babyl file if it cannot handle it. Preferably, it should be able to handle it. (This is unrelated to the latest Rmail changes.) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

(I'm not sure what you're getting at.) I was confused: I didn't notice the C-u, and thought you were getting new mail from the system mailbox (which shouldn't be a Babyl file). > Emacs 22.3 `C-u g' will happily take either a Babyl or mbox file as > input, converting it to the appropriate format.

(There's an unrelated -- or so I think -- bug in unrmail, whereby some messages are badly converted from Babyl -- e.g., they get two X-RMAIL-ATTRIBUTES headers. But that happens even if you type "C-u M-x rmail RET foo RET". I'm working on this.) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
