rmail-output-read-file-name Error in Summary (with Patch) |

Hello developers,
I'm happy to report a bug and a fix.
Description: When in an Rmail summary buffer,
rmail-output-read-file-name looks for matches in the summary buffer
rather than in the rmail buffer, and thus fails to find the proper
match. The patch below corrects this behavior.
ChangeLog entry: make rmail-output-read-file-name use rmail-buffer when
in summary
I was unable to download the most recent Emacs from bazaar, but I was
able to get the source from the Ubuntu archive, and I think it is
current in this regard. Because of this, I also had to make a slightly
different diff, but I think it will work. It's only a two-line change
anyway.
Diff:
diff -c -L rmailout.el -L \#\<buffer\ rmailout.el\> rmailout.el
/tmp/buffer-content-19356i1B
*** rmailout.el

All the best,
Terry

Thanks for the report. I installed a slightly more complicated fix to
the Emacs trunk, currently expected to appear as Emacs 24.3 at some
point.
