1475.0. "Mail from Interrupt menu problem again!" by WAYOUT::TALBOT (Trevor Talbot) Tue Sep 22 1992 17:03

Hi,

	IF

	using EDT edit style you do EM C TO:me with 
RR=yes send it and then EM C TO:me whilst in edit session
GOLD-I to RN (read the mail above with the read receipt
so that this receipt is created whilst you are in the
editor session.) exit back from the RN to the editor
and then gold-f, this then says send when ready. All o.k.

	WHY

	when using WPS_PLUS edit style the EM C TO:me
gold-I followed by
<mail create/open/nosend/edt/noedit
<mail to "ME"
<mail subject "Message created from GOLD-I"
<mail text " "
<mail text "Hello!"
<mail close_message
<mail send
	This sends message. then exit screen back to 
edit of first mail followed by gold-f. The following 
messages are seen:
Invalid DAF POINTER in document:                  000000

and from gold-w
%OA-W-CAB_NO_DAF, Invalid DAF POINTER in document: 
	000000
%EMD-I-USESEND, Send this message when you are ready
%OA-I-LASTLINE, No message was created

NOTE: From the customer machine with DSO being used the
same sequence above generate the same errors with the
exception of the daf_pointer error this has been replaced
with a 'Message currently being accessed by another user'


An explanation ofthis behaviour would be welcome, and if
it is a bug do we have a workaround?

Thnaks

1475.1	Changing the underlying pointers	SHALOT::WARFORD	Richard Warford @OPA DTN 393-7495	`Wed Sep 23 1992 04:34`	12
	Since you didn't do any mail push/pops - you have modified the OA$CURMES value WHILE you are in the middle of a mail transaction. This isn't too neat! ( IT also probably modified OA$CURDOC). You probably would need to add a cab push/pos and a mail push/pop to your instructions to prevent the pointer from being hosed. And you might even have to reselect the currently being edited document to make sure the other oa$curdoc_xxx symbols get reset correctly. Sounds like the customers option is trying to reuse the WPS-PLUS editor which won't work.] Rick

	Hi Rick, I tried a <cab push and <mail push just before the <mail create..... and then after the mail send I tried a mail pop,cab pop but still got the DAF pointer error....Where would you suggest these need to be placed? -TRev
1475.3	Fraid I cannot help much right now	SHALOT::WARFORD	Richard Warford @OPA DTN 393-7495	`Wed Sep 23 1992 21:54`	10
	And did you try the cab select after the cab pop? It may be needed too. ALL-IN-1 was never really designed to allow reentrant behavior in a single subsystem. It may be that it just not really possible to do what you are trying to do cleanly. I do seem to remeber doing this at one time though (as long as aternate editor was used) . Unfortunately since I am not really office person anymore I cannot get time to try and get it to work for you. Sorry. Rick
1475.4	Which version?	IOSG::SHOVE	Dave Shove -- REO-D/3C	`Thu Sep 24 1992 11:48`	6
	Which version? In v.30, we fixed a bug in this area by forcing Read Receipts to be built in ASCII (EDT style), even if your editor is WPS-PLUS. Dave.
1475.5		WAYOUT::TALBOT	Trevor Talbot	`Thu Sep 24 1992 15:01`	23
	Hi, I just tried the <cab select and the same error appeared. These are the exact commands I have now tried: EM C TO:me when in editor do Gold-I then <cab push <mail push <mail create/open/nosend/edt/noedit <mail to "ME" <mail subject "Message created from GOLD-I" <mail text " " <mail text "Hello!" <mail close_message <mail send <mail pop <cab pop <cab select exit from gold-i and then gold-f. Voila error. -Trev
1475.6	Another shot in the dark	SHALOT::WARFORD	Richard Warford @OPA DTN 393-7495	`Thu Sep 24 1992 15:25`	5
	I think you would need to swap the CAB and MAIL push/pops. By pushing the cab first, the mail push may be screwed up (since it probably thinks that oa$curdoc is pointing to same thing as oa$curmes!) Rick

	Hi, I know it was a while ago now, but this problem is still here! anyone got any ffurther ideas as those listed earlier have proved fruitless.... Thanks Again, Trev
