Package: emacs24-common
Version: 24.5+1-11+deb9u1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Newly upgraded system now running emacs 24.5.1.
After sending mail through the exim (aliased to sendmail) route,
an error occurred and the used sent-mail buffer remained on
screen (though the mail was in fact delivered).
A debug trace showed that sendmail-send-it was invoking
switch-to-buffer-other-window with a zero rather than nil argument.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
In github, specifically at
https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/d9eff02736c975dc5035e02249ff17c8a068d203/lisp/mail/sendmail.el
is a snapshot of sendmail.el dated 30mar15 which was described as
fixing something like this bug. I grabbed a copy of this version
and installed it in the local lisp directory.
* What was the outcome of this action?
It now works ok.
