I think we need at least one or two people to try the mbox-format code
before we install it in the trunk. Can a couple of people try it now?
I just tried the rmail-mbox-branch on an mbox text file.
`rmail-activate-urls' is erroneously called which prevents Emacs from
reading the mbox file. The *Messages* buffer says
`Symbol's function definition is void: browse-url-activate-urls'.
When I comment out the `(rmail-activate-urls)' line in the function
definition for `rmail-show-message' in the mbox-format branch of
rmail.el, I am able to read the email.
`rmail-activate-urls' does not exist in the `rmail-format' (main)
branch of the /usr/local/src/emacs/lisp/mail/ directory.
Here is what I did:
## in a shell
## cd <to-the-CVS-repository-on-my-machine>
cd /usr/local/src/emacs/lisp/mail
## discover the name of the branch
cvs status -v rmail.el
## convert all files to that branch
## time is: Sat, 2004 Sep 11 12:56 UTC
cvs update -r rmail-mbox-branch
# Run a `plain vanilla' Emacs using the mbox branch:
# /usr/local/src/emacs/src/emacs -Q
# #### and look at an mbox file:
#
# C-u M-x rmail RET mbox-foo RET
#
# ## In *Messages* buffer, see:
#
# Processing new messages...done (55)
# save-excursion: Symbol's function definition is void:
# browse-url-activate-urls
# Comment out the `(rmail-activate-urls)' line in the function
# definition for `rmail-show-message' in the mbox-format branch of
# rmail.el and evaluate the rmail.el buffer.
# Now able to read email in mbox-foo.
## update to previous version, using `-A' to reset
cvs update -A
# Run a `plain vanilla' Emacs using the previous branch:
# /usr/local/src/emacs/src/emacs -Q
# #### and look at the same mbox file:
#
# C-u M-x rmail RET mbox-foo RET
#
# ## In *Messages* buffer, see:
# Converting to Babyl format...done
# ## Also able to read email from same mbox file.
