Re: batch mode to send an email

[ken]

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.

(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
      smtpmail-smtp-server "mail.server.tld")

(setq mail-default-headers

(mail nil "someuser@somewhere.somedomain" "my favorite subject")

(insert "Blah, blah, blah.\n")

(mail-send-and-exit)


The error I get is with the third line-- "(mail nil ...)":

Wrong number of arguments: #[(arg)

Note that there's no error when I put the point after the line in
question and do "C-x C-e" but only within an .el file executed from bash.

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.

You need to change:

(defun mail-send-and-exit (arg)
...

in sendmail.el to

(defun mail-send-and-exit (&optional arg)
...

This has been done in CVS Emacs.  It would help us if you tested this
version which you can get from Savannah with

 
 cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/emacs co emacs

and by following the instructions in the file INSTALL.CVS.

bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org is the mailing list for reporting bugs for the released
version of Emacs.  You can send to that list using report-emacs-bug (also
on the menu bar under "Help"). It also gives your configuration.
