No, I'm guilty here. I used my patch instead and haven't looked back since. I think having to add code lines to an init file is much more annoying (and less transparent) than simply having something for which I can add a =:custom= line in my use-package statements, or new users just use the customizer to explore to. Maybe that's just me, but I feel much more comfortable about sharing that config or that suggestion with others, too. Explorability is what customizer's big benefit to emacs is, so it seems to me a real advantage to have this in there. >>> >>> Still waiting for feedback from notmuch users that actually use M-x >>> compose-mail or other similar generic entry points. >> >> Does anyone know how compose-mail behaves when one has loaded any other >> emacs mua (mh, vm, gnus, mu, ...) ? >> > > As far as I can tell > > vm: only locally binds mail-user-agent > mh-e: used to have a setq mail-user-agent, removed in 2003-ish > mu4e: documents how to set mail-user-agent > rmail: reads mail-user-agent, but does not set > gnus: only locally binds mail-user-agent > wanderlust: tells you how how to set mail-user-agent (and oddly, how > to define conditionaly define a user agent) > > So I think notmuch is the odd one out here. > _______________________________________________ > notmuch mailing list -- notmuch@notmuchmail.org > To unsubscribe send an email to notmuch-leave@notmuchmail.org _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list -- notmuch@notmuchmail.org To unsubscribe send an email to notmuch-leave@notmuchmail.org
