V!

Hi Uday, when trying V! I get the error below. It does work on a second try, although then I get an empty buffer and I see the virtual folder only after pressing h to get a summary. best, E

Hi Eli, I think there is some corrupted data in your folder. It might go
away on its own the next time. If it doesn't, please load "vm-page.el" so
that we get a more detailed error trace.

[mere user (emacs-user)]

hi Uday, I erased my folder and downloaded it (nearly 400Mb) again
from gmail. same problem. is there a way to find out what the
corruption might be? I loaded vm-page.el and tried again and am still
getting this:

Ok. Then it is due to folder corruption.

1. Unfortunately, the backtrace is still for the compiled vm-page (not the
".el" file). So, please try again.

2. I am not able to reproduce the error. So, it is probably being fired by
some setting you use, or there is something in the folder that is causing
the problem.

So, please it try it with default settings as well. If it doesn't happen
with the default settings, then you need to submit vm-submit-bug-report.

3. After you get this error, can you continue using the virtual folder? Or,
does it keep on giving the error?

Cheers,
Uday

hi Uday, perhaps it's not worth your time if this is due to a folder
corruption on my side. I tried it again with my sent-mail folder and
it shows the same problem. Here are some responses just in case:

What this shows is that the marker that records the text part of the
"current message" at this stage doesn't point anywhere, i.e., it hasn't been
set.

Which message is the current message? Does the problem arise for a
particular current message or for all of them, i.e., the current message
when you do `V!' ? Does `V C flagged' cause the same problem?

Cheers,
Uday

Well, if VM is causing any folder corruption, that is a very serious issue.
So, we can't ignore it.

I think the best course of action would be if you can create a small folder
that illustrates the problem and send it to me. Use vm-submit-bug-report to
send it so that it doesn't get put on the web.

Cheers,
Uday

this seems to happen for any current message. and V C flagged shows
the same problem. I will try to produce a small example and submit a
report. I worry that these are my settings again and I am waisting
your time... :)
