Peter,

  I think this problem was fixed on the Emacs mainline. It is my
  intent to merge the Emacs' changes into our codebase. It'll be a
  couple of weeks before I have a chance. Keep the fires burning
  though!

Resend and mime

Hello, I've been using mh-e for a while and got used to all the
binding so I'd rather continue with it.

mh-e-version has the value: "5.0.2".

My questions:
  - how can I do a resend ?
    (I'm moderating a list for spam and I'd like to be able to resend 
     real message without having to manually edit the From/ReplyTo
     field)
    I tried M-d which does something called redistribute but the
    message didn't arrive to the list - God knows where it went..

  - Mime is not supported apparently (I hate attachments anyway, so I
    can live with it) but sometimes I'd like to forward messages with
    attachment and that doesn't seem to work on the receiver's end

Thanks for ccing me directly in your reply.

Have you tried mh-edit-again ?

I hope MIME will come soon.  To forward MIME mail, add this to
your ~/.mh_profile file:

forw: -mime

and then use the f key (mh-forward) as usual.

If I do that, I get an error
 Search failed "^-----------Forwarded Message"

and the following in the message body

#forw [forwarded message] +/u/zidane/0/w3c/danield/Mail/inbox 15

ok, that doesn't quite work, it changes the From to be me, not the
original sender.

  M-d should do the Right Thing. Check your mail logs and see if you
  can see what happened.

  As Peter mentioned, forw -mime does the trick.

  This is fixed in the newly released Emacs 21.1. As a workaround, you
  can run M-x mh-letter-mode in the draft so that you can continue. If
  you can't upgrade to Emacs 21 (which really rocks, by the way),
  cross your fingers for a Christmas present in the form of a mh-e
  release.

  You need to run "C-c C-e" (mh-edit-mhn) like any other MH MIME
  attachment to actually incorporate the forwarded message.

  What do folks think about making this automatic? Oh, it is. I think
  there may be some .mh_profile magic we can document. If you have
  already cast the magic dust, please save me some time and pass some
  of it my way. Thanks.

I often write a little blurb when I forward messages (.e.g
"Here's the message I was talkingt o you about..."), so an
automatic mh-edit-mhn before I have a chance to edit-in more
stuff is not good for me.

  You misunderstand. I was talking about invoking mh-edit-mhn from C-c
  C-c (mh-send-letter). This would be useful in non-forward drafts
  too where you include attachments. I can't tell you how many times
  people have said:

    What the heck is this?

    >#text/plain; name="foo" [] /tmp/foo

  Simply because I forgot to run C-c C-e.

Ah!  Yes, that's a good idea. I think I'd prompt first if there's
a possibility of something matching the construct regexp.
