[PATCH] Fix MH-E mail composition with GNU Mailutils


From: Mike Kupfer
Subject: [PATCH] Fix MH-E mail composition with GNU Mailutils
Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2018 12:00:40 -0700

Currently, trying to compose a message using MH-E with Mailutils fails:
no composition buffer is created, and the user gets an obscure error
message about deleting a non-empty directory.  This has been broken for
awhile (i.e., it's not a regression in 26.1), but the fix is pretty
simple.  Is this okay for emacs-26?

diff --git a/lisp/mh-e/mh-comp.el b/lisp/mh-e/mh-comp.el

     (rename-file (concat temp-folder "/" "1") new t)
-    (delete-file (concat temp-folder "/" ".mh_sequences"))
-    (delete-directory temp-folder)

+    (delete-directory temp-folder t)
     new))

thanks,
