The following two problems apply to sendmail.el, emacs version 18.58.1 . 1) If a file being written to by mail-do-cc is being visited by a buffer, but the buffer is read-only, it fails to append and returns an error. I believe it should temporarily make the buffer writeable instead. 2) mail-do-cc always writes a "\n" before the "From" at the beginning of the message. When the file being written is previously empty or nonexistent, this creates a mail file that begins with a blank line before the first "From ", which is nonstandard and makes some mail programs unable to recognize it a unix mail file.
