pds@lemming.webo.dg.com (Paul D. Smith) writes: The problem is that while regular vm-yank-message sets point and mark around the buffer, vm-do-reply w/ include-text doesn't because the call to vm-yank-message is within a save-excursion, so mark and point aren't set when you finish. This isn't that big a deal, except that Supercite expects mark and point to be set. I realize that the attribution has already taken place and that works, but I can't use C-c q (sc-fill-paragraph) because it expects mark to be set and it isn't... Minor point, I realize I can easily set it myself, but ... it's a bug, darn it! :-) It is indeed a bug, but in SuperCite, not VM. SuperCite has no right to expect the mark to remain at any specific location after the citation is done (obviously the user can move it anywhere), nor may it assume there is even a mark at all. Of course, this is nothing compared to the problems you have with SuperCite when you're replying to multiple messages at once. -- Enjoy, Joe Wells <jbw@cs.bu.edu>
