[Bug 490026] [NEW] vm: sc-cite-original citation hook fails for mime encoded messages

 

Public bug reported:

Package: vm
Version: 8.0.12
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

When using sc-cite-original as mail-citation-hook, vm-reply-include-text fails to fetch sender info.
Reason for that is the lack of header information in the buffer presented to sc-cite-original.

Where mail-citation-hook's documentation in emacs mentions a binding for mail-citation-header
as a substitute for information found in the buffer, vm does neither bind `mail-citation-header' nor `mail-citation-header'
is honored by supercite (sc-cite-original :-().

So IMHO the only way to have vm & supercite consistent, vm-reply needs to include a sound header in the
buffer presented.

Note: Test was done on emacs23 and emacs22.
