Hi -- I’ve been getting the following error for me with recent VM when I access my primary inbox by means of the mspools.el: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil The issue is that the variable vm-spool-files gets modified to look something like this: (("~/mail/inbox" "~/mail/inbox.spool" nil) ...) The solution is the following patch to mspools.el: --- mspools.el~ 2007-11-08 17:12:02.000000000 +0000 +++ mspools.el 2008-11-12 15:26:37.000000000 +0000 ＠＠ -196,7 +196,8 ＠＠ ;; Main mailbox (list vm-primary-inbox mspools-vm-system-mail ; your mailbox - vm-crash-box ;crash for mailbox + (or vm-crash-box ; crash for mailbox + (concat vm-primary-inbox vm-crash-box-suffix)) )) ;; Mailing list inboxes For the XEmacs folk, a helpful piece of code for issues like this on 21.5 is: (progn (dontusethis-set-symbol-value-handler 'vm-spool-files 'set-value 'unimplemented) (setq debug-on-error t)) Bye, Aidan -- ¿Dónde estará ahora mi sobrino Yoghurtu Nghé, que tuvo que huir precipitadamente de la aldea por culpa de la escasez de rinocerontes? _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
