FWIW, I can confirm that this has happened to me as well, on a few very rare occasions. Unfortunately, it happened with very large mbox files, and I didn't at the time have time to investigate. > Does the error happen with emacs -q (or at least with minimal > customizations to tell rmail where to get mail from)? I doubt that this could lead us anywhere. The problem happens only very seldom, at least to me, so I think customizations have nothing to do with that. Rather, I think it's some rare condition with the mailbox itself. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
