Re: [Nmh-workers] odd whatnow -attach behaviour

2008-08-15 22:04:32
I don't use whatnow -attach, but I was fiddling around with it making a
test case for a related issue, and I noticed that it seems to behave a
bit oddly:

mnementh$ whatnow -attach foo

What now? attach foo_bar/baz

What now? alist
baz

What now? detach foo_bar/baz

What now? alist
baz


So the 'detach' doesn't complain, but it doesn't actually seem to do
anything either...

Anybody who actually uses this know if this is a bug or expected behaviour?

This is probably mine to handle but I'm in the middle of a big vacation
for my wife's sabbatical so won't get to it until mid-September.  This is
my one day to check email for August!

My guess is that this is not a bug; read the README-ATTACHMENTS or whatever
it is called.  "detach baz" will probably work.

We can get into a whole discussion of the correct behavior; I asked for
feedback on this years ago before implementation.
