Subject: Attempt to modify read-only text bug in pgnus 0.80
Date: 15 Apr 1999 11:03:55 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3ogkqc4dg.fsf@maya.dyndns.org> (raw)
Hi Lars,
Some time ago someone posted this pgnus 0.80 bug on the ding list and
you had requested they send you a trace. I've had a similar problem
here where certain email messages will jam the article buffer
preventing the viewing of other articles or even of saving (both O-b
or ^O) the article.
I have narrowed down the cause to have something to do with specific
mail agents, or perhaps it is the mime headers; what I do know is all
my mail from certain addresses trigger this effect reliably and in the
case of the headers listed below, the mail agent appears to be
microsoft's mime/OLE --- one common behaviour with all messages
triggering this effect is the "Drawing /" status message and that
leads me to suspect it is a generic mime problem (or perhaps some
incompatibility with my version of w3.el?)
If there is a work-around, or if there are any additional tests I can
do to help you sort this out, please let me know.
Here's my trace upon trying to read a second article after
viewing an offending article:
Signaling: (error "Attempt to modify read-only text")
erase-buffer()
gnus-request-article-this-buffer(5 "nnml:teledynamics.mcp")
gnus-article-prepare(5 nil)
gnus-summary-display-article(5)
gnus-summary-next-page(nil)
* call-interactively(gnus-summary-next-page)
Here's the trace when trying to save a jammed article:
Signaling: (error "Attempt to modify read-only text")
remove-text-properties(1 2582 (invisible t intangible t))
article-show-all()
apply(article-show-all nil)
(if interactive (call-interactively (quote article-show-all)) (apply (quote article-show-all) args))
(save-excursion (set-buffer gnus-article-buffer) (if interactive (call-interactively ...) (apply ... args)))
gnus-article-show-all-headers()
gnus-summary-select-article(t nil nil 5)
