What do you by mean couple of days, the patch is in since the day
before yesterday?
I mean since I compiled the patch, whenever it was.
No. We do not leave temporary editor files laying around.
I have tested it and of course the new file is read in!
..And it always did, the problem only was that we were blocking on
network I/O, if you waited long enough you would have been
returned to the prompt and the composed message was updated.
The IMAP session and the editor session have absolutely nothing in
common. And we do _not_ leave temporary files laying around,
unless we would crash. Maybe your editor reacts funnily on the
signal?
The editor is ed, I'll try with something else next time.
This event was different from ones I've seen before. Before, I didn't
know whether there had been an error until I left the editor. The error
message turned up when control returned to the s-nail window. This
time, the error message appeared while I was in the editor. After the
message appeared, I saved and exited, did ~p and saw only the pre-edit
content, as before. While still in the message, I looked in /tmp from
another window and saw the edited version. When I abandoned the message
with ~x, s-nail cleaned up the temporary file.
