What were you trying to do?
send mail with comp and emacsclient
What's wrong:
I had a typo; I put in a < without a >.
when I typed send at the what now? prompt, I got this:
>What now? send
>send: message not delivered to anyone
This, IMHO is well and good (could have been more helpfull, but oh well...)
What this doesn't show is that it also dumped core.
I found the typo, fixed it, and everything was happy.
core is in /mit/yandros/core.send, if anyone wants it.
I'd like to know why it dumped core.... wasn'\t the message enough?
What should have happened:
IMHO, it shouldn't have dumped core.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
