Hi, I'm using M-x rmail, but having trouble with the 'set-rmail-inbox-list'
command. While i can successfully do:

  (rmail "~/RMAIL.180517")

and

  (rmail-summary-get-new-mail "~/mbox")

when i'm in the emacs window with 'RMAIL major mode' and type: M-x
set-rmail-inbox-list

and it prompts:

  Set mailbox list to (comma-separated list of filenames):

and i type:

  ~/mbox

i get the following error:

 set-rmail-inbox-list: Wrong type argument: sequencep, 109


Note that the command requires me to be in the window with 'RMAIL
major mode', not allowing typing it in a window with 'RMAIL Summary
mode' (minor gripe)

thanks,
/jeff

I cannot reproduce this, neither in the 26.0.91 pretest nor with the
more recent RC1.

Does this happen in "emacs -Q"?  If not, perhaps your recipe lacks a
few steps that your customizations add to the puzzle?

That's by design.  We could perhaps allow this also in the Summary
buffer, but let's first fix the original problem, okay?

Hi Eli, yes you are right, using 'emacs -Q' solves the problem (sorry about not trying this first), so now i'll track down what's wrong with my .emacs file to break 'set-rmail-inbox-list'.


thanks,

/jeff
