- Hi,
-
- I found a possible bug in the rmail-reply command: when you reply, the
- Re: field is not inserted in the subject field. Besides, if the
- subject already contains the Re: field, it gets deleted.
-
- I think I spotted the place where the problem happens to be: in the
- file rmail.el, lines 1245 and 1246:
-
- (string-match "\\`Re: " subject)
- (setq subject (substring subject 4)))
-
- should be replaced by something more like:
-
- (not (string-match "\\`Re: " subject))
- (setq subject (concat "Re: " subject )))
-
- I don't know if this is the right thing to do since I am not a Lisp
- specialist, but apparently it seems to correct the problem.
-
- Thank's.
