I think you will find that (setq mail-user-agent 'notmuch-user-agent) works. My reading of the documentation (and either my reading or the docs could be wrong) is that the symbol for a mail-user-agent need not be a function. Quoting the docstring for define-mail-user-agent SYMBOL can be any Lisp symbol. Its function definition and/or value as a variable do not matter for this usage; we use only certain properties on its property list, to encode the rest of the arguments. Other user agents, e.g. 'gnus-user-agent, 'message-user-agent, and 'sendmail-user-agent do not seem to have function definition. On the other hand, it is a bit surprising that no-one noticed a problem with "Other" mail-user-agent values before now. ___ notmuch mailing list -- notmuch@notmuchmail.org To unsubscribe send an email to notmuch-le...@notmuchmail.org
[bug] Invalid function: notmuch-user-agent (was: notmuch release 0.33 now available)
Hi David, notmuch developers, * David Bremner [2021-09-03; 13:29]: > Emacs > - > > `notmuch` no longer sets `mail-user-agent` on load. To restore the > previous behaviour of using notmuch to send mail by default, customize > `mail-user-agent` to `notmuch-user-agent`. While reading this news, I realized, that `mail-user-agent' is set to "message-user-agent" in my emacs instance. I therefore tried to change `mail-user-agent' via the customization interface (clicking the radio button "Other:" and providing "notmuch-user-agent" as value) but then I got an error message: custom-variable-mark-to-save: Saving mail-user-agent: Invalid function: notmuch-user-agent This also happened from "emacs -Q" and when calling notmuch-emacs-mua --hello from the command line. Even then, `mail-user-agent' is set to "message-user-agent". This happens with: notmuch version 0.33+14~g005c620 on GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2021-09-05 What to do? Thanks for notmuch and your attention, Gregor ___ notmuch mailing list -- notmuch@notmuchmail.org To unsubscribe send an email to notmuch-le...@notmuchmail.org
