Subject: Mail mode and message mode hooks
Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2009 21:18:37 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <871vjfwi6a.fsf@stupidchicken.com> (raw)
I'd like to hear some opinions on how to treat the mail mode and message
mode hooks, given that message-mode is to be the default.
As it stands, anyone using feedmail will likely suffer breakage in
upgrading to Emacs 23.2, as shown in bug#3942. The feedmail package
relies on hooks, and contains documentation like this:
feedmail-mail-send-hook-splitter is a Lisp function in `feedmail.el'.
(feedmail-mail-send-hook-splitter)
Facilitate dividing `mail-send-hook' things into queued and immediate
cases. If you have `mail-send-hook' functions that should only be
called for sending/ queueing messages or only be called for the
sending of queued messages, this is for you. Add this function to
`mail-send-hook' with something like this:
(add-hook 'mail-send-hook 'feedmail-mail-send-hook-splitter)
So, the message-*-hook variables should probably be aliased to the
mail-*-hook variables.
One problem that I can see with this is that code intended for one mode
may not work properly for the other mode, but I can't think of any
concrete examples. Any thoughts?
