I've googled around on the net and haven't found anything relevent (apart from a reference to a similar error related to comint.el) I've also set the lisp debugger and received the following traceback: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil) internal-set-lisp-face-attribute(purple-bold :font nil #) set-face-attribute(purple-bold # :font nil) set-face-font(purple-bold nil #) hilit-lookup-face-create(msg-from) hilit-highlight-region(1 6 msg-header nil) hilit-rehighlight-message(nil) hilit-rehighlight-buffer() hilit-find-file-hook() run-hooks(find-file-hooks) after-find-file(nil t) find-file-noselect-1(# "~/letter.txt" nil nil "~/letter.txt" (659273 1048583)) find-file-noselect("/home/stssart/letter.txt" nil nil nil) find-file("/home/stssart/letter.txt") dired-find-file() call-interactively(dired-find-file) I appreciate any pointers to the solution.
