Trying to get emacs to send an email in batch mode.
Using this code:
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
smtpmail-smtp-server "mail.server.tld")
(setq mail-default-headers
"X-RTFM: Sending Mail; Mail Sending; (smtpmail)Emacs Speaks SMTP\n")
(mail nil "someuser@somewhere.somedomain" "my favorite subject")
(insert "Blah, blah, blah.\n")
(mail-send-and-exit)
The error I get is:
Wrong number of arguments: #[(arg)
("/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/mail/sendmail.elc" . 21146) nil 2
("/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/mail/sendmail.elc" . 20985) "P"], 0
(all on one line, of course. My mail client autowraps.)
I comment out the line ''(mail nil ....)'' and the error goes away.
"C-h f mail" says there can be more args, but doesn't say it must.
