Subject: Delayed email sent 26 times
Date: Sat, 13 Aug 2011 09:20:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87obzt4w26.fsf@topper.koldfront.dk> (raw)

   Hi.

I rarely send delayed emails, but yesterday I delayed an email with C-c
C-j for sending this morning at 08:00.

When I started Gnus, after 08:00, it sent the email allright. But it did
so 26 times!

Each email has a new Message-ID and the Date:s are ~3 seconds apart.

WTF?

I have a function added to my message-send-hook that takes a while¹ (it
tries to fetch the currently playing song from my jukebox, which was
turned off at the time - so mpc had to time out).

Could it be that Gnus doesn't keep track of which delayed emails are
currently being processed, and if it takes a while, the email is sent
again, and again, and again until the first/"quickest" attempt succeeds?

Just wondering.

  Best regards,

    Adam

    (interactive)
    (save-excursion
      (setenv "MPD_HOST" asjo-mpd-host)
      (let* ((string (shell-command-to-string (concat "mpc" asjo-mpc-format))))
        (string-match "[^/]*$" string)
        (match-string 0 string))))

  (defun asjo-add-now-playing-header ()
    "Add X-Now-Playing header"
    (let ((now-playing (asjo-mpd-now-playing)))
      (when (not (string-match "error" now-playing))
        (message-add-header (concat "X-Now-Playing: " now-playing))
        (message "Updated: %s" now-playing))))

  ;; Insert header:
  (add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'asjo-add-now-playing-header)
