emacs 23.1 and vm

emacs 23.1 and vm

[John covici]

Hi.  I am using 23.1 and vm  supposed 8.0.11, but I have seen no
changes for a while on vm. My problem is that if I visit a virtual
folder, I often get Wrong type argument: sequencep, 40 and this is
happening a lot more under 23.1 than before.

What I am wondering is if vm is a dead duck what else is there -- I
use gnus and like it a lot, but I like to look at messages before they
are split up into their respective groups to see what's new in a place
where I might not see things if I just use gnus by itself.

Thanks much for any ideas on this.

Could you set debug-on-error to t, and post the backtrace for this
error?

Next time it happens, I can do that, but as I recall I got a lot of
hex characters in the trace possibly because of .elc files?

Thanks.

Loading the .el version with "M-x load-library RET" should make the
backtrace a lot more readable.  If you don't know which libraries to
load, type "C-h f" for every function name you see in the backtrace,
and load the libraries mentioned in the *Help* buffer.

Thanks, I will do that.

hex characters basically mean we get less info, but it's still better
than nothing, so post them here.
