[OS X Emacs] mail-default-headers - where does it belong?
Skip Montanaro

In my ~/.emacs file I have this setting:
(setq mail-default-headers "From: skip at pobox.com\n")
I just switched from 1.9 or 2.0p1 to 2.0p3 and find that my From: header
is no longer set properly. It is:
From: Skip Montanaro <skip at montanaro.dyndns.org>
(probably the default). No wonder my mail hasn't been going out.
Looking at my outgoing mail archive it would appear that it's also not
picking up my mail-mode-hook:
;;define mail-archive-file-name to ~/mail/archive/yyyy-mm
(require 'timezone)
(defun archive-file-name ()
(let ((date (timezone-parse-date (current-time-string))))
(concat vm-folder-directory
"archive/"
(aref date 0)
"-"
(format "%02d" (string-to-number
(aref date 1))))))
(setq mail-mode-hook
(list
(function
(lambda ()
(setq mail-archive-file-name (archive-file-name))
(mail-abbrevs-setup)))))
because mail messages I originate (as opposed to replies to other
messages) haven't been archived.
It appears that 1.9 (which I was continuing to use for -nw support) does
read ~/.emacs. Also, I had been running 2.0p1 on my desktop with no
problem. I'm not sitting in front of my laptop at the moment so I
can't tell for sure if 2.0p3 in GUI mode does the right thing.
Did something change between 2.0p1 and 2.0p3 (or between 1.9 and 2.0p3)
regarding ~/.emacs file loading? If so, is this GNU Emacs-specific or
Aquamacs-specific?
Thanks,
