You must set `rmail-search-mime-header-function' That you are running a too old Emacs version (23.x, right?). Time to upgrade, this problem is fixed in Emacs 24. Alternatively, change this fragment from rmailsum.el: (if rmail-enable-mime (if rmail-search-mime-header-function (funcall rmail-search-mime-header-function msg regexp (point)) (error "You must set `rmail-search-mime-header-function'")) (re-search-forward regexp nil t))) to say this instead: (if (and rmail-enable-mime rmail-search-mime-header-function) (funcall rmail-search-mime-header-function msg regexp (point)) (re-search-forward regexp nil t))) and then recompile rmailsum.el and reload rmailsum.elc. Trying to do that isn't a familiar thing for neophytes, or even for intermediate types!... a?) Any easier, simpler way to handle it when you get You must set `rmail-search-mime-header-function' b?)
