Thanks. First, the swapping code in pmail should be tweaked to use
write-region-annotate, like in Stefan's 2008-12-30 change to
tar-mode.el.
Also, I've been wondering about the following code in pmail.el, which is
used to perform babyl-to-mbox conversion. It uses temp-files to
transfer the data. Would this lead to a security hole via symlink
attack? Could someone suggest a solution? (Maybe a simple fix is to
make the temp files in .emacs.d?)
(defun pmail-convert-babyl-to-mbox ()
"Convert the mail file from Babyl version 5 to mbox.
This function also reinitializes local variables used by Pmail."
(let ((old-file (make-temp-file "pmail"))
(new-file (make-temp-file "pmail")))
(unwind-protect
(progn
(kill-all-local-variables)
(write-region (point-min) (point-max) old-file)
(unrmail old-file new-file)
(message "Replacing BABYL format with mbox format...")
(let ((inhibit-read-only t))
(erase-buffer)
(insert-file-contents-literally new-file)
