Subject: Any word in mail-mode is recognized as (thing-at-point 'symbol)
Date: Mon, 02 Jan 2023 13:12:12 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <135052c52dc9cf59347c5a1fc6744872.support1@rcdrun.com> (raw)

Dear Drew,

I find that any word I inspect in mail-mode and probably then in other
modes is detected as (thing-at-point 'symbol) even if it is not
symbol.

What I expect is that (thing-at-point 'symbol) detects only Emacs Lisp
defined symbols.
