Subject: Another "Rmail" problem I ran into
Date: Sun, 09 Jun 2024 18:19:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6665d602.170a0220.5862e.c401@mx.google.com> (raw)
Greetings,
because sometimes Google sends some reply mail to my inbox before it
sends the corresponding original mail, I added the following lines to my
"Rmail" configuration file:
(defun Sort-Date ()
"Sort incoming mail by date."
(rmail-summary-sort-by-date nil))
(add-hook 'rmail-get-new-mail-hook 'Sort-Date)
But this leads to either the summary or the message buffer not being
displayed, and in buffer "*Messages*" I find
Getting mail from /home/rainer/mail/.HAM...
Counting new messages...done (1)
Finding sort keys...30
Reordering messages...30
Counting messages...done
Computing summary lines...done
rmail-show-message: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
Just in case it matters: including the one new message there are 39 mes-
sages in the summary buffer, so why does "Rmail" only process 30 messa-
ges?
When I again comment out the "add-hook" line above and restart "Rmail",
everything works again (well, except for the sorting of course).
What's going wrong here?
Sincerely,
Rainer
