Summary: kmail with emacs as external editor: text in emacs
doesn't make it into composer (is lost) when emacs is
closed
Product: kmail
Version: unspecified
Platform: Mandriva RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Version: (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS: Linux
Installed from: Mandriva RPMs
I choose emacs as the external editor in kmail Settings->Configure
Kmail->Composer by checking the box "use external editor instead of composer".
Fine, after putting "emacs %f" in the "specify editor" box, emacs comes up when
I start typing in the composer window. Also fine. However, after typing my
mail, saving, then closing emacs, none of that text is handed to composer. It
is all lost.
Doing the same thing with "kwrite %f" works fine, as does nedit.
emacs, xemacs, gedit all fail in this respect.
I remember trying to figure this out a year or two ago, and I think I remember
finding some information that pointed to the problem being in the way kmail
expects temporary files to be saved. However, I don't seem to be able to find
that information right now.
