Hi John -
Just a note to let you know of a potential problem (and solution) when
fix-transpose-characters mixes with packages that parse email headers.
I found a problem sending mail to local folks with gnus when using
your fix-transpose-characters and Trey Jackson's sig-quote mode. When
my To: line looks like this
To: Ryan Tokarek <tokarek>
it's changed to this just before it's mailed:
To: Ryan Tokarek <tokare>k
Trey's package parses the headers using functions in sendmail.el,
including, in this case, 'mail-to', which executes (expand-abbrev):
,----
| (defun mail-to ()
| "Move point to end of To-field."
| (interactive)
| (expand-abbrev)
| (mail-position-on-field "To"))
`----
Since I'm using fix-transpose-characters by hooking into abbrev:
,----
| (add-hook 'pre-abbrev-expand-hook 'fix-transposed-characters)
`----
that makes mail-to run fix-transpose-characters with point at the end
of the To: line. That winds up changing <tokarek> to <tokare>k.
I'm getting around the problem with this advice in my .gnus:
(defadvice message-send-and-exit (around transpose-toggle activate compile)
"Turn off John Wiegley's fix-transposed-characters when sending mail."
(remove-hook 'pre-abbrev-expand-hook 'fix-transposed-characters)
ad-do-it
(add-hook 'pre-abbrev-expand-hook 'fix-transposed-characters))
In other news, eshell is a heck of a lot of fun. Thanks!
Take care -
bw
