Subject: problems using the draft folder
Date: Sat, 04 Oct 1997 01:28:36 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <x73emim70b.fsf@chow.mat.jhu.edu> (raw)
I just installed QGnus 0.12. I use emacs 19.34.1. The first thing I
did was to try out the drafts mechanism. I composed a mail message,
hit `C-x s', then killed the *reply to ...* buffer with `C-c C-k'.
The draft appeared in my nndraft:drafts group, and I could view the
contents of the draft as I view any other article. Next what I did
was `D e' followed by `C-c C-k'. After this I couldn't do either
`D e' or `D s'. They gave an error, and here's a backtrace:
Signaling: (error "Couldn't restore the article")
signal(error ("Couldn't restore the article"))
error("Couldn't restore the article")
gnus-draft-setup(2 "nndraft:drafts")
gnus-draft-edit-message()
call-interactively(gnus-draft-edit-message)
The backtrace for `D s' is similar.
After this the draft entry in the cache's active file got mixed up.
(It took me a long time to figure out that the information on the
draft group was stored in the cache's active file. Is there some
logic here I'm missing?) I can start from scratch and this problem
is repeatable.
If I do `D s' without doing `D e' `C-c C-k' beforehand, the message
gets sent properly. But I'm imagining a scenario where I compose
a message, save it to think a bit, start doing more editing,
save it to ponder some more, and then try to do the final editing.
Any idea what's up?
Dan
