From: Muto <shack <at> muto.ca> To: 46029 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#46029: 27.1; mail-archive-file-name cannot be changed once it is set. Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2021 22:19:31 -0700
This bug occurs even if I disable my configuration. The variable 'mail-archive-file-name' can be set, but never re-set afterwards (setting it to nil before providing a new value does not work, either). I use rmail and Mailutils to check my email, and I switch back and forth between two accounts by using the following functions: ;; My first account (defun mail-muto () (interactive) (setq rmail-primary-inbox-list (list (concat "imaps://shack%40muto.ca" "@mail.gandi.net")) rmail-file-name "~/.emacs.d/mymail/muto/muto" rmail-default-file "~/.emacs.d/mymail/muto/muto" mail-archive-file-name "~/.emacs.d/mymail/muto/sent" user-mail-address "shack <at> muto.ca" user-full-name "Muto" smtpmail-default-smtp-server "mail.gandi.net" message-signature "Rock on! -Muto\nhttps://muto.ca") (message "%s"(propertize "Email account: Muto"))) ;; A second account that is uses all the same variables. (defun mail-muto2 () (interactive) (setq rmail-primary-inbox-list (list (concat "imaps://muto2%40example.com" "@mail.example.com")) rmail-file-name "~/.emacs.d/mymail/muto2/muto2" rmail-default-file "~/.emacs.d/mymail/muto2/muto2" mail-archive-file-name "~/.emacs.d/mymail/muto2/sent" user-mail-address "muto2 <at> example.com" user-full-name "Muto2" smtpmail-default-smtp-server "mail.example.com" message-signature "Regards, -Muto2. ") (message "%s"(propertize "Email account: Muto2"))) ;; End of code snippit If I activate my first account with: M-x mail-muto and start a new email with C-x m The Fcc line will look correct. But after that, if I use M-x mail-muto2 And start writing a new email, my signature, return address, and full name are updated, but my Fcc still has the old value of: "~/.emacs.d/mymail/muto/sent" instead of the desired value: "~/.emacs.d/mymail/muto2/sent" This bug works the other way around (loading account 2 first), and it also occurs when I use 'mail-default-headers' instead of 'mail-archive-file-name'.
