There's the one that prompted this report: emacs -Q C-u M-x rmail RET foo RET ; foo is a Babyl file with > 1 message d s y Now you have an mbox file, no prompting. > Or perhaps you should only treat "unseen" as minor. > > Maybe that would be better. Would you like to try out that behavior? If you're asking if I want to write a patch, then sorry, no. > That is a bug; aborting the edit should not prompt. > Does this fix it? Aborting no longer prompts, but it marks the message as edited, which is incorrect. Also, aborting an edit now always marks the Rmail buffer as unmodified (even if the initial Rmail file was mbox). It should restore the pre-edit modification status.
