Call org-remember on a "RE:" post raises error in gnus

Call org-remember on a "RE:" post raises error in gnus

[Kane Dou]

The error is:
org-replace-escapes: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

And org-remember works fine on a parent post.
It seems that gnus doesn't print the title of a reply post, so
org-remember can't catch it and this leads to the error.
Any workaround?

This works fine for me with both org-remember and org-capture.  Can you
provide more details and a backtrace?

Hi, Bernt

I use:
Ubuntu 10.04
Emacs 23.1.1
Gnus 5.13
Org Mode 6.36c

No special settings for gnus or org-remember.

When I call "org-remember" on a post like this: "O [ 40: Istvan ADAM ]
Erroneous display when working on remote Unix machine".

The backtrace("debug-on-entry" on "org-replace-escapes", no
backtrace will occur if "org-remember" works normally):

Debugger entered--entering a function: * copy-alist((("%c") ("%F"
. "Istvan ADAM <istvan.adam@yahoo.com>") ("%f" . "Istvan ADAM") ("%T")
("%t" . "?") ("%s" . "Erroneous display when working on remote Unix
machine") ("%m"
. "20060509074313.51846.qmail@web37102.mail.mud.yahoo.com"))) *
byte-code("Æ\b!ÇÈlj‰\x19\x1a^[\x1c\x1d\x1e\x18\x0e\x18‰A\x16\x18@‰\x13ƒq

Re: Call org-remember on a "RE:" post raises error in gnus

[Kane Dou]

Seems the byte code can not be sent.
Here's what follows the byte-code line:

* org-replace-escapes("Email from %f: %.30s" (("%c") ("%F" . "Istvan
  ADAM <istvan.adam@yahoo.com>") ("%f" . "Istvan ADAM") ("%T") ("%t"
  . "?") ("%s" . "Erroneous display when working on remote Unix
  machine") ("%m" . "20060509074313.51846.qmail@web37102.mail.mud.yahoo.com")))
  org-email-link-description() org-gnus-store-link()
  run-hook-with-args-until-success(org-gnus-store-link)
  org-store-link(nil) org-remember-annotation()
  run-hook-with-args-until-success(org-remember-annotation)
  remember(nil) org-do-remember() org-remember(nil)
  call-interactively(org-remember nil nil)

Can you provide the backtrace for the error?

M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET

To get a backtrace without byte-code, just reload Org before provoking
the error (M-x org-reload RET).

It returns this:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Cannot return from the debugger in an error")
  string-match("%-?[0-9.]*c" nil)
  org-replace-escapes("Email from %f: %.30s" (("%c") ("%F" . "David Maus <dmaus@ictsoc.de>") ("%f" . "David Maus") ("%T") ("%t" . "?") ("%s" . "Re: Re: Call org-remember on a \"RE:\" post raises error in gnus") ("%m" . "87630zvg2e.wl%dmaus@ictsoc.de")))
  org-email-link-description()
  org-gnus-store-link()
  run-hook-with-args-until-success(org-gnus-store-link)
  org-store-link(nil)
  org-remember-annotation()
  run-hook-with-args-until-success(org-remember-annotation)
  remember(nil)
  org-do-remember()
  org-remember(nil)
  call-interactively(org-remember nil nil)

And I want to update a fact that the error sometimes also happens on the
parent post.

Hi David,

The patch is useful, and org-remember now works fine in gnus.
Thanks so much.
