I recently upgraded from Emacs 22 to Emacs 23. Hence, I am now using message-mode for sending mail, rather than message mode. I am still using RMAIL to read mail. My problem: Mail-forwarding seems to be broken. If I try to forward an email msg, I get the following (debug-on-error is enabled): ------%<--%<--%<---cut here---%<--%<--%<---------------------------- Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function mail-text-start) mail-text-start() rmail-forward(nil) call-interactively(rmail-forward nil nil) ------%<--%<--%<---cut here---%<--%<--%<---------------------------- One more datum (which I just discovered): I tried forwarding a mail msg after firing up GNUS. Now I get a buffer in which to send mail, but the msg to be forwarded doesn't appear. Moreover, the minibuffer shows the msg rmail-forward: Symbol's function definition is void: mail-text-start Note that I transferred over a couple of customizations that I had used with mail-mode. There's a good chance that this may be the source of the problem. The first was as follows: ------%<--%<--%<---cut here---%<--%<--%<---------------------------- (setq message-send-hook '(lambda () (mail-log-it))) ------%<--%<--%<---cut here---%<--%<--%<---------------------------- Here, mail-log-it is a function that writes some information to a logfile. If anybody thinks that it would be helpful, I'll send along a copy of mail-log-it. The second is as follows: ------%<--%<--%<---cut here---%<--%<--%<---------------------------- (defun my-message-send-mail-function () (interactive) (if (y-or-n-p "Really send? ") (message-send-mail-with-sendmail) (error "Send Aborted"))) (setq message-send-mail-function 'my-message-send-mail-function) ------%<--%<--%<---cut here---%<--%<--%<---------------------------- This allows me to change my mind before sending mail. Any insight you might have would be *very* welcome!
