The "*Article*" buffers are now called "*mu4e-article*"
Now all mu4e buffer names begin with "*mu4e", which makes various external scripts, tools work better
Hi. Can we make all mu4e buffer names begin with "*mu4e" ? I had some external scripts that broke when the article buffer was renamed to not do that.
Thanks!
IIRC, the gnus code we're using depending on that buffer having the name it has.
Hi. FWIW I've been running mu4e like this for a while, and haven't hit any obvious issues. Do you know what could break with this buffer rename?
I remember some of the gnus code relying on it, is been a while though, can't remember the details. In any case, I 'd recommend using mu4e-view-buffer-name in scripts as well, so it'll work no matter what value it has.
As a last resort, note that you can actually change the value of a defconst in your local setup with setq.
I can't use mu4e-view-buffer-name: these are external scripts that look at the X window titles. They don't run in emacs and aren't written in elisp. I can setq, but if you could merge this in the future to make the names consistent again, that'd be awesome. Thanks.
