What's a vm-generated buffer? `M-x mail-yank-original RET' doesn't do anything for me either. However, message-yank-original works! Are you using RMAIL? I'm using Gnus, so in an init file for gnus-article-mode, I have this: (let ((the-map gnus-article-mode-map)) ;; ... (define-key the-map "r" 'gnus-article-followup-with-original) ) That way, I don't have to yank the original manually. But no, I don't know why mail-yank-original doesn't work. From the documentation, it seems it is associated with RMAIL (or Rmail, as it says). mail-yank-original is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `sendmail.el'. (mail-yank-original ARG) Insert the message being replied to, if any (in Rmail). It is unclear why there is one such function for mails (Rmail), and one for messages in general. Does the message-yank-original work for you? -- underground experts united
