(beginning-of-line) (write-region start (point) "~/foo.html")))) Instead of writing from the view buffer as it used to, it now writes from the mbox buffer. It writes the WHOLE mbox. I presume this is due to the changes to use an existing hook and its warts, instead of a feature designed to be simple to use for this job. I verified that pmail-write-region-annotate was called with arguments 369 87214. Any attempt to write part of the view buffer into a file has the same problem.
