[Bug] Force creating of Mail/sent on sending?

[Bug] Force creating of Mail/sent on sending?

[Bastien]

Hi all,

I installed notmuch yesterday, when I heard David's talk at the GNU
hackers meeting -- great tool!  Thanks for the work.

My configuration is here: http://bzg.fr/emacs.html (browse down to the
notmuch section, click on it.)

If I require 'notmuch, then sending from Gnus asks me whether I want
to create Mail/sent -- I don't want to, sent emails go to the current
group.

Is there a way to avoid notmuch asking this?

Thanks!

Found it: (setq notmuch-fcc-dirs nil)

Sorry for the noise,

Your configuration seems, well, non-trivial.

By "sending from Gnus", do you mean exactly that, or do you mean
notmuch-mua-new-mail which is basically some notmuch stuff layered on
top of message-mode? If the latter, see M-x customize-variable
notmuch-fcc-dirs. If the former, I'm wondering if we mess up
message-mode somehow.


BR,
Jani.

Hi Jani (and Bastien)

I can duplicate this with 

emacs -q 
M-x message-mail
ESC-ESC : (require 'notmuch)
M-x message-mail

so it does seem to be notmuch stomping on some message-mail
variable.

One workaround is to customize the variable notmuch-fcc-dirs to nil. 

I'm not sure if this behaviour is OK or not; the guilty function is
notmuch-fcc-initialization, notmuch-maildir.el

Hi Bastien.

I think this is finally fixed in notmuch master. The workaround should
continue to work, but I thought you might like to know your bug report
was not in vain ;).
