Thanks for the pointer but it looks like this macro runs afoul of the
capture process somehow. I redefined my function as you have above and
did C-xC-e to reload it and then initiated a capture from a window
showing my GNUS summary. It fails with:
byte-code: Capture abort: (buffer-read-only #<killed buffer>)
I then tried another capture staring from a read-write buffer. The
capture succeeds but the captured text is inserted into this starting
buffer instead of the one found by the bv-daily-log-file function.
The Elisp manual mentions that save-selected-window is sometimes a
better alternative but that gives the same behavior.
Do you maybe have further ideas I could try?
Thanks,
-Brett.
