Queuing SMTP mail

This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Please describe as succinctly as possible: - What happened. - What you thought should have happened. - Precisely what you were doing at the time. Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have. ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! I use XEmacs under cygin on Win2k for my mail (using VM), and use the "queued mail" feature for writing mail when offline. It didn't work on recent versions of smtpmail - because filenames where the messages were stored had colons in them. I created my own timefunction hhmmss instead of the default hh:mm:ss used to create the time stamp in the file name, and everything was OK. Recently an additional bug in the latest distribution prompted me to send my fix into the maintainer, Simon Josefsson <jas(a)extundo.com&gt;, who accepted my fixes and put them into the latest version. However, I just updated to 21.4p10 and found that the problem had returned. I went to smtp mail and found a new way of generating the filenames, but again with colons in. I sent my new fix in to Simon Josefsson, but he said that the convert-standard-filename mechanism now used should get around this problem. It doesn't- it leaves colons in the filenames which make the files unusable under cygwin/Win2K. Simon Josefsson writes: Andrew Senior <aws(a)watson.ibm.com&gt; writes: I don't think this should happen, as there is a call to `convert-standard-filenames' below: (file-data (convert-standard-filename file-data)) which should remove the colons if I understand it correctly (I don't use Windows). This is how it was solved in Emacs, and it seems like the right thing to me (no need to make all users suffers the limitations of one file system). Can you find out why the call doesn't work? The reason I simply don't change it is that you probably will have other problems in other parts of emacs if c-s-f doesn't work as advertised, so it is probably better to make the function work properly rather than work around it. [And in a subsequent mail...] It would be good to find out if this is a genuine bug, or if indeed smtpmail should be modified. Could you please make a bug report? ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: CYGWIN_NT-5.0 TSUNAMI 1.3.12(0.54/3/2) 2002-07-06 02:16 i686 unknown ./configure '--with-dragndrop' '--with-postgresql=no' '--with-x=no' '--bindir=/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-cygwin' '--with-site-lisp=yes' '--with-ipv6-cname=no' '--with-netinstall' XEmacs 21.4.10 "Military Intelligence (RC5 Windows)" configured for `i686-pc-cygwin'.
