Subject: message-mode trying to auto-save bogus file names
Date: 07 Aug 1999 23:48:03 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87g11v9bm4.fsf@x2-312.mtl.Generation.NET> (raw)


I just recently upgraded to pgnus from whatever shipped with 20.3 and I'm
finding a few minor problems. Right now my drafts folder, which had been
working flawlessly is doing something strange.

Firstly the drafts folder appears to be ~/News/drafts/drafts which seems
strange enough, but then I see things like:

buffer-auto-save-file-name's value is 
"/home/stark/Mail/drafts/#*message*#"

There are at least two things wrong with that variable, for one it's the wrong
directory, for another that's a pretty bad choice of filenames. It seems to me
we should just set auto-save-visited-file-name to t for drafts files anyways.

Also, it's really annoying to be asked if i want to save a mail when i haven't
written anything in it yet. It would be nice to flip the modified flag off
just after setting up the headers.
