--- From: Marcin Owsiany <[email protected]> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <[email protected]> Subject: failed attachment saving hides error message Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2005 14:51:37 +0100 Package: mutt Version: 1.5.6-20040907+2 Severity: normal To reproduce: 0) start mutt as non-root 1) go to view-attachments for any message (v) 2) save-entry (s) 3) type: /foo and press enter Now nothing seems to have changed, as if you didn't press enter at all! Actually I guess the error message is somehow "hidden" by the immediately repeated prompt, and appears if you 4) press CTRL-G now This behaviour is somewhat confusing. Moreover, together with gnome mailcheck applet bug, which starts mutt in root directory, instead of $HOME, can make it impossible for a novice user to save attachments. Marcin PS: I have already reported a bug against gnome-applets, but this one needs fixing nonetheless. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.26-1-k7 Locale: LANG=pl_PL, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL (charmap=ISO-8859-2) Versions of packages mutt depends on: ii exim4 4.43-4 An MTA (Mail Transport Agent) ii exim4-daemon-heavy [mail-tr 4.43-4 Exim (v4) with extended features, ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb4.2 4.2.52-17 Berkeley v4.2 Database Libraries [ ii libgnutls11 1.0.16-13 GNU TLS library - runtime library ii libidn11 0.5.2-3 GNU libidn library, implementation ii libncursesw5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsasl2 2.1.19-1.5 Authentication abstraction library -- no debconf information -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3156> Mutt <http://www.mutt.org/> The Mutt mail user agent
