compose-mail-other-window

[martin rudalics]

Due to the recent change of `compose-mail' `compose-mail-other-window'
will fail to show the window for editing the message.  Removing the
`save-window-excursion' in `compose-mail' should cure this.

Similar misbehaviors have been reported previously by Alfred M. Szmidt
and John ffitch.

Indeed, compose-mail-other-window is broken in my Emacs 22.0.95 built
on 2007-03-18. It puts the mail buffer in fundamental mode.

    `save-window-excursion' in `compose-mail' should cure this.

This removes the `save-window-excursion'.  Does this work right?

I think the offending patch should be reverted.  It tries to avoid
passing the SWITCH-FUNCTION argument to sendmail-user-agent-compose;
if I'm not mistaken, this change originated from Michaël Cadilhac's
2007-03-07 complaint to emacs-devel that report-emacs-bug overrides
mail buffers that are already open.  But this behavior was tolerable;
it doesn't justify working around the neat SWITCH-FUNCTION interface
to sendmail-user-agent-compose.

Unfortunately it doesn't - I get two windows displying the *mail* buffer
now.  I back Chong's advice to restore the original behavior.

This bug is not completely fixed.

To reproduce:
  1. emacs -q
  2. (setq mail-user-agent 'message-user-agent)
  3. C-x 5 m

The mail buffer is still in fundamental mode.

I have also tested it with the default value and gnus-user-agent and it
works fine.

Sorry, that's my bad.

2007-03-15  Katsumi Yamaoka  <yamaoka@jpl.org>

	* message.el (message-generate-new-buffers):
[...]
	(message-mail): Prefer `switch-function' if it is given;

It requires running `message-mode' further.  I've fixed it in
both the trunk and the v5-10 branch of the Gnus CVS repository.
I think this change is worth merging to not only the Emacs trunk
but also the EMACS_22_BASE branch.

Regards,

P.S.
http://www.jpl.org/ftp/pub/elisp/message-multiple-frames.el.gz
has already been updated.

I checked it, and it looks good.  I checked it into the EMACS_22_BASE
branch.  Thanks.

(I assumed the automagic syncing between Gnus CVS and Emacs CVS HEAD
will take care of the trunk; is that right?)

Thank you very much for this.  Could you merge another fix that
I made recently to the EMACS_22_BASE branch, too?   The discussion
is here:

And this is the patch:

    I checked it, and it looks good.  I checked it into the EMACS_22_BASE
    branch.  Thanks.

I'd like the doc fix in rx.el to be checked, and applied if correct.
Also, Martin's table.el change.

Aside from that, I think we are ready for a release, but let's
first have people run it for a couple of days.

It has already been checked by Chong Yidong.  Thanks.
