errors in X
Hi, Maybe this is an emacs problem, but I'm only seeing problems so far in Gnus. When running Emacs and Gnus under X, if I hit M-g (gnus-summary-rescan-group?) in the Summary or Group buffer, I get an error: Mail source error ((args-out-of range I don't have this problem if I run Emacs in a terminal. I'm running Emacs 21.4, Gnus 5.9.0 on Debian Sid. I recently did an apt-get dist-upgrade, which seemed to include a big update to Xorg. Can anyone help?

(in you headers) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-16be Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit It seems to me that your locales are broken as you actually sent some kind of ascii or latin encoding and not some utf-16 big endian. Maybe you should take a look at that ? -- Sébastien Kirche ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

Re: errors in X
Sorry about that. Thank you for pointing out the problem. Let me try again. (I removed the odd characters from the backtrace, which I suppose were causing gnus to automatically change the encoding. True?) Back to my question: This may be an Emacs problem, but I am only having trouble with Gnus so far. I have this problem when running Emacs in X, but not when it's in a terminal. When I hit M-g on a nnml group in summary or group buffer I get a Mail source error: ((args-out-of-range I am running Emacs 21.4 and Gnus 5.9.0 on Debian Sid. A recent apt-get dist-upgrade seemed to include a big update to Xorg. Narrowing it down to X took a while, and I'm not sure where to go from here. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Script output in mail-source directory :prescript
Is there a way to get the script output and some kind of a notice if the exit status of the script is non-zero in a directory mail source :prescript? I have the following in ~/.gnus: (setq mail-sources '((directory :path ~/path/to/mail-in :prescript ~/path/to/get-mail-script))) Now, the problem is that if the get-mail-script has a non-zero exit or produces some output, nothing is shown in the Emacs buffers. The following patch almost does what I have in mind: --- orig.mail-source.el 2005-03-18 06:35:29.0 +0200 +++ mail-source.el 2006-04-19 00:09:56.0 +0300 @@ -667,12 +667,9 @@ (sleep-for delay))) (defun mail-source-call-script (script) - (let ((background nil)) -(when (string-match *$ script) - (setq script (substring script 0 (match-beginning 0)) - background 0)) -(call-process shell-file-name nil background nil - shell-command-switch script))) + (let ((resize-mini-windows nil) +(max-mini-window-height 0)) +(shell-command script))) ;;; ;;; Different fetchers Unfortunately (shell-command) does not pop the output buffer if there is only single line of output. It doesn't help to change the `resize-mini-windows' or `max-mini-window-height' either. If the script exist status is non-zero, (shell-command) produces no output. -- Timo Lilja It's a 106 miles to Chicago.
