[mew-int 02066] mew-summary-cache-message fails sometimes

mew freezes emacs on some mails. if i press C-g in the first 2 minutes
or so, i can interrupt this procedure. then i will got these in *Message*
buffer:

     MIME decoding for +inbox/83 aborted
     mew-summary-cache-message: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

but if i let it alone, emacs will be not responsive. even C-g will not
function any more.

i had thought this is because those mails were broken. but many mail
from gimp-user mail list hang mew. so maybe i mis-configure mew. or
mew has a bug.

thank you in advance.

[mew-int 02067] bug with adding attachment

[mew 4.2.50]

I strongly suggest that the variable completion-ignored-extensions is
locally set to nil so that attaching a file to a mail really finds all
possible file names.

Consider the case of a directory `foo' which contains `bar.ps' and
`bar.pdf'.  File name completion only gives `foo/bar.ps' because the
`.pdf' extension is in the completion-ignored-extensions list.

[mew-int 02068] marking all mails in a folder

[4.2.50]

What's the easiest way to mark all files in a (virtual) folder?  I
couldn't find a simple command to do that.

Currently, I use `?' with something like `subject!=foo', but this
needs too much keystrokes IMHO.

BTW, the `?' command used in a virtual folder with a `!=' pick
condition shows a funny count message -- it also counts all matches in
the non-virtual buffer which is slightly irritating.

Thanks.  It's quite well hidden in the docs

Remove the above line.  Use the default value "465" ("ssmtp") instead.

Remove " <...>".

Add " <at> gmail.com". (ref. Gmail: Help Center)

The default value is "pop3s" ("995"), so you can remove the above
line.

You can remove the above lines, because those variables are set to
proper values in the startup file `/etc/emacs/site-start.d/*mew*.el'
by Debian (Ubuntu) package mew or mew-beta.  See also
`/usr/share/doc/mew*/README.Debian'.

Also, please note that:

  * Don't use the prefix "mew-" for config keys.
  * Setting mew-ssl-verify-level to 0 is not recommended.
  * The config key "prog-ssl" is not supported.
  * The config keys "ssl-cert-directory" and "ssl-verify-level" are
    not supported by Mew 3.x (supported by Mew 4.x).

I sorted out your config values:

(setq mew-config-alist
      '(
	("gmail"
	 ("name" . "Martin Simon")
	 ("user" . "xxxxx")
	 ("mail-domain" . "gmail.com")
	 ("smtp-ssl" . t)
	 ("smtp-user" . "xxxxx <at> gmail.com")
	 ("smtp-server" . "smtp.gmail.com")
	 ("pop-ssl" . t)
	 ("pop-server" . "pop.gmail.com")
	 ("pop-user" . "xxxxx <at> gmail.com")
	 ("pop-auth" . pass) ;; pass needed for gmail
	 ("pop-delete" . nil)
	 ("proto" . "+")
	 ("mailbox-type" . pop)
	 ;;
	 )
	;;
	))

To verify certificates, install the Debian (Ubuntu) packages
stunnel4 (or stunnel) and ca-certificates.

thanks a lot
the last thing did the trick!
i didn't know there's a package ca-certificates and the cert.pem i downloaded
somewhere worked for pop but not for smtp.

Hello,

Sorry for the delay. I have been busy but it's over.

Thank you for your suggestion. I have implemented this and committed
to the CVS tree.
