Calling message-mail with various headers to add

Calling message-mail with various headers to add

[Andreas Jaeger]

I tried to write a function which automatically sets up a mail to a
specific persion/mailing list with Gnus but failed:-(.

For example, evaluating:
(message-mail "ding@gnus.org" nil "Gcc: nnfolder+archive:out-mail")
I get:
Wrong type argument: listp, "Gcc: nnfolder+archive:out-mail"

What's wrong with the call?  How can I add other headers besides To
and Subject (which works)?

Thanks,
Andreas

Well, obviously, OTHER-HEADERS should be a list.  Maybe like this?

(message-mail "ding@gnus.org" nil (list "Gcc: nnfolder+archive:out-mail"))

Have you actually tried this?  It doesn't work for me.

No, I hadn't.  Apparently, OTHER-HEADERS is supposed to be an alist,
like this:

'( (gcc . "nnfolder+archive:out-mail")
   (cc . "jrl@frob.org") )

Thanks a lot for digging this out.  This works now fine for me.
