This seems to have done the trick! Thank you so much!

This is wrong for notmuch - you need to use `notmuch-mua-send' rather

I looked into this and I think that the following workaround could work
for you:

(defun jl-notmuch-message-send-and-exit ( arg)
  (interactive "P")
  (let ((message-fcc-handler-function #'notmuch-fcc-handler))
(jl-message-send-and-exit arg)))
 
(defun jl-notmuch-message-send ( arg)
  (interactive "P")
  (let ((message-fcc-handler-function #'notmuch-fcc-handler))
(jl-message-send arg)))
 
(define-key notmuch-message-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-c") 
'jl-notmuch-message-send-and-exit)
(define-key notmuch-message-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-s") 
'jl-notmuch-message-send)

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a less intrusive solution for now,
because notmuch uses the same "trick" (remapping keyboard shortcuts) as
jl-encrypt to override message sending from message.el. This means that
either jl-encrypt or notmuch can be bound to these keys but not both.

Notmuch has to use this mechanism until the bug [1] is fixed in Emacs.

Another possibility would be to introduce something like
notmuch-send-hook which would allow other packages to hook into notmuch
sending process, but this could be even more complex that the above
workaround, so I don't think it is worth the effort.

Best regards,
-Michal

can you share more details about how do you use jl-encrypt and which
functions do not work? Recently, I posted a few patches that fix some
problems related to the replacing message-mode with
notmuch-message-mode. Maybe, there is more what we can do to not break
user's setups.

From a brief look at jl-encrypt, it seems it is tightly bound to gnus,
because it uses gnus-message-setup-hook. Maybe it will work again with
notmuch if you use my patch [1] and run

(add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'jl-encrypt-if-possible)

i've been using jl-encrypt unmodified with notmuch for a while now.  i
just require it on my .emacs

since 0.21, i had to rebind notmuch-message-mode C-c C-c and C-s C-s
keys:

(define-key notmuch-message-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-c") 'jl-message-send-and-exit)
(define-key notmuch-message-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-s") 'jl-message-send)

and solved the issue of fcc by setting notmuch-fcc-dirs to nil and
making my mta send me bcc of my own email.

this has worked correctly for the last week.

i applied your patch to the 0.21 release and byte-compiled notmuch-mua.el

the message is sent unencrypted unless i rebind C-c C-c as before.  the
email is encrypted but it asks for the recipient, which i'm guessing
emacs can't figure out for itself anymore?

also tested with `emacs -q` and loading this file, and jl-encrypt never
asks to encrypt the email when possible:

# /tmp/emacs

(require 'notmuch)
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/lisp/")
(require 'jl-encrypt)
(add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'jl-encrypt-if-possible)
(add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'mml-secure-message-sign-pgpmime)

by adding the C-c C-c rebind, it gets to encrypt, but asks for recipient
again.

i hope this info is useful :)

Re: file-error "not a regular file"

[Peter Salazar]

send-message-without-bullets simply turns off org-bullets-mode before doing
message-send, since org-bullets-mode seemed to be interfering with
org-mime-htmlize.

(defun send-message-without-bullets ()
  (interactive)
  (remove-hook 'org-mode-hook 'org-bullets-mode)
  (message-send)
  (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'org-bullets-mode))

I also have this:

(setq message-send-hook (quote (org-mime-htmlize)))

It seems to be some interaction with your configuration. I'm not
familiar with this "send-message-without-bullets" function. Perhaps you
could point us to the source?

Can either of you replicate the problem with a minimal configuration,
ideally with "emacs -q", followed by "M-x load-library 
notmuch"?

If so, does the path in the Fcc header exist? If so, what is it? a file,
a directory, a symlink?

For me, in emacs 24.5 / notmuch 0.21, with emacs -q, if that path is
missing I am prompted to create it. If I refuse, then I later get a
message about not being a maildir.

I guess the tl;dr is that I can't duplicate this problem. Looking at the
traceback Peter provided, it looks like he is using
"send-message-without-bullets" to send the message. Since this isn't a
notmuch function, it's likely bypassing the notmuch fcc setup that
notmuch-mua-send and notmuch-mua-send-and-exit do.

Re: file-error "not a regular file"

[Peter Salazar]

Hi David,

Thanks for looking into this. Much appreciated.

Yes, following your steps, emacs -q followed by "M-x load-library 
notmuch", I was able to send an email without the error. It prompted me for
my smtp server, username, and password, then returned this:

Sending email
Sending email done
Invalid image size (see `max-image-size')
Mark set
Saving file
/Users/peter/Dropbox/mail/gmail/sent/tmp/1451367804.6837_72197_1.Infinity.local...
Wrote
/Users/peter/Dropbox/mail/gmail/sent/tmp/1451367804.6837_72197_1.Infinity.local
Sending...done

To answer your other question, yes, there is an Fcc: header when I try to
send email from my regular Emacs configuration. It's the same header I saw
when I sent email from the minimal configuration:

Fcc: /Users/peter/Dropbox/mail/gmail/sent

That directory does indeed exist:

drwxr-xr-x@ 9 peter  staff  306 Dec 27 21:54 *sent*
And it contains:

.DS_Store.mbsyncstate *.nnmaildir*   .uidvalidity *cur*  *new*
*tmp*
Does this give us any leads?

Thanks again.

i've found the issue.  i'm using jl-encrypt that expects email written
in message-mode, and since notmuch is now a minor mode some functions
that were expected to be there didn't work anymore.

file-error "not a regular file"

[Peter Salazar]

Hello,

I'm using notmuch-mode from within Emacs to send email using async/mbsync
through Gmail. However, every time I send email from within Emacs, I get
this error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "not a regular file"
"/Users/peter/Dropbox/mail/gmail/sent")
  insert-file-contents("/Users/peter/Dropbox/mail/gmail/sent" nil 0 100)
  mail-file-babyl-p("/Users/peter/Dropbox/mail/gmail/sent")
  message-output("/Users/peter/Dropbox/mail/gmail/sent")
  message-do-fcc()
  message-send()
  send-message-without-bullets()
  call-interactively(send-message-without-bullets nil nil)
  command-execute(send-message-without-bullets)

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I can share relevant details from my .mbsyncrc if that would be helpful.

Thanks!
