[gnu.emacs.bug] rmail-input dies again

roland@ai.mit.edu (Roland McGrath) (07/28/89)

In 18.54, rmail-input on a file already being visited by the current
buffer does with integer-or-marker-p failing on nil.
(find-file "foo")
(rmail-input "foo")

I just did a bizarre thing with rmail. I had an already large rmail
file with three times as much mail in its inbox. So I just found
the file, load-library'ed rmail, and said rmail-mode. Seems I couldn't
invoke the `o' command, rmail-output-to-rmail-file because
rmail-last-rmail-file was nil. Perhaps rmail needs a complete rewrite.

Hey Roland, do you know who's in charge of GNU diff?
