Can a couple of people try it now? I just tried the rmail-mbox-branch on an mbox text file. `rmail-activate-urls' is erroneously called which prevents Emacs from reading the mbox file. The *Messages* buffer says `Symbol's function definition is void: browse-url-activate-urls'. When I comment out the `(rmail-activate-urls)' line in the function definition for `rmail-show-message' in the mbox-format branch of rmail.el, I am able to read the email. `rmail-activate-urls' does not exist in the `rmail-format' (main) branch of the /usr/local/src/emacs/lisp/mail/ directory. Here is what I did: ## in a shell ## cd cd /usr/local/src/emacs/lisp/mail ## discover the name of the branch cvs status -v rmail.el ## convert all files to that branch ## time is: Sat, 2004 Sep 11 12:56 UTC cvs update -r rmail-mbox-branch # Run a `plain vanilla' Emacs using the mbox branch: # /usr/local/src/emacs/src/emacs -Q # #### and look at an mbox file: # # C-u M-x rmail RET mbox-foo RET # # ## In *Messages* buffer, see: # # Processing new messages...done (55) # save-excursion: Symbol's function definition is void: # browse-url-activate-urls # Comment out the `(rmail-activate-urls)' line in the function # definition for `rmail-show-message' in the mbox-format branch of # rmail.el and evaluate the rmail.el buffer. # Now able to read email in mbox-foo. ## update to previous version, using `-A' to reset cvs update -A # Run a `plain vanilla' Emacs using the previous branch: # /usr/local/src/emacs/src/emacs -Q # #### and look at the same mbox file: # # C-u M-x rmail RET mbox-foo RET # # ## In *Messages* buffer, see: # Converting to Babyl format...done # ## Also able to read email from same mbox file. -- Robert J.
