do you have the latest service packs installed? [sp 5 i think]
Yes. Whether it's relevant or not, I'm running on Windows XP Home. I have a
Windows 2000 Professional box I can try this on, but I'll have to get it set
up, so I may not get to it today...
can you give me a relatively simple way of reproducing the problem,
without
any init files etc.?
It's pretty simple for me to create:
1. Build XEmacs 21.5.11, with MULE and with optimisation on.
Nondefault options from config.inc.samp (from memory...)
MULE=1
HAVE_TIFF=1
HAVE_XFACE=1
OPTIMIZED_BUILD=1
DEBUG_XEMACS=0
ERROR_CHECK_ALL=0
Also, edit xemacs.mak to remove "$(LIB_SRC)\i" from the definitions of
TEMACS_BATCH, XEMACS_BATCH and XEMACS_BATCH_PACKAGES
(it gave me odd errors - I just click the "OK" button as needed...)
2. Install it (I install to C:\Apps\XEmacs)
3. Unpack the standard and mule sumo distributions into the install dir
(I used the versions dated 2002-12-30)
3. Get Oort Gnus 0.15 from
www.gnus.org, at
http://quimby.gnus.org/gnus/dist/ognus-0.15.tar.gz
4. Unpack Gnus, and build/install with make-x.bat <XEmacs location> /copy
5. You should now be able to reproduce the problem with
xemacs.exe -q -f message-mail
if i can reproduce it i'll see if i can figure out what's
going on.
Hope that's enough for you to reproduce it...
Paul.
PS Just tried this on my Windows 2000 box, and it works perfectly :-(
I'll copy the exact installed tree to my XP Home box this evening, and
see if it fails there. (It may be that -q -f message-mail isn't enough
to reproduce the problem. I'll try to get a minimal case that triggers
the bug if that's the case).
