not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
(setq mail-personal-alias-file nil)
(compose-mail)
gives a (wrong-type-argument stringp nil) because
(sendmail-sync-aliases) in sendmail.el passes nil to
(file-attributes) which cant handle it.
The variable mail-personal-alias-file is documented as followos
"*If non-nil, the name of the user's personal mail alias file.
This file typically should be in same format as the `.mailrc' file used by
the `Mail' or `mailx' program.
This file need not actually exist."
This implies, that I can set mail-personal-alias-file to nil, which
disables the reading auf "~/.mailrc".
If is set mail-personal-alias-file to "" compose-mail works without
any error.
