Recently (after an update to emacs about a month ago, debian unstable) I started getting a message when checking mail about a mail source error:
Mail source (file :path /var/mail/nowan) error (Searching for program). Continue? (yes or no) This is apparently from my secondary select method meant to pull in localhost mail, and it doesn't seem to be anything obvious like a permissions problem. It doesn't make any difference whether I respond yes or no, either way mail out of /var/mail is ignored and the rest of my mail is fetched successfully. It's clearly some sort of compatibility issue and I figured I needed to sort through my gnus file and figure out where it was coming from -- annoying but no big deal. And since it's only a small minority of my mail affected it hasn't bugged me enough to pursue it till now. But the annoying thing, apart from the fact that the error is a bit obscure (what program?), is that if I turn debug-on-quit on so as to figure out where the bug is being triggered and why, the message goes away removing my chance to trigger the debugger. Any ideas either a) what the problem fetching local mail is, or b) why debug-on-quit makes the message go away? -- Jeremy Hankins <no...@nowan.org> _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
