Variable: feedmail-queue-buffer-file-name

feedmail-queue-buffer-file-name is a variable defined in feedmail.el.gz.

Value

nil

Documentation

If non-nil, has the value normally expected of buffer-file-name(var)/buffer-file-name(fun).

You are not intended to set this to something in your configuration. Rather, you might programmatically set it to something via a hook or function advice or whatever. You might like to do this if you are using a mail composition program that eventually uses sendmail.el's mail-send function to process the message. If there is a filename associated with the message buffer, mail-send will ask you for confirmation. There's no trivial way to avoid it. It's unwise to just set the value of buffer-file-name(var)/buffer-file-name(fun) to nil because that will defeat feedmail's file management features. Instead, arrange for this variable to be set to the value of buffer-file-name(var)/buffer-file-name(fun) before setting that to nil. An easy way to do that would be with an advice on mail-send.

feedmail will pretend that buffer-file-name(var)/buffer-file-name(fun), if nil, has the value assigned of feedmail-queue-buffer-file-name and carry out its normal activities. feedmail does not restore the non-nil value of buffer-file-name(var)/buffer-file-name(fun). For safe bookkeeping, the user should ensure that feedmail-queue-buffer-file-name is restored to nil.

Example advice for mail-send:

    (advice-add 'mail-send :around #'my-feedmail-mail-send-advice)
    (defun my-feedmail-mail-send-advice (orig-fun &rest args)
      (let ((feedmail-queue-buffer-file-name buffer-file-name)
             (buffer-file-name nil))
        (apply orig-fun args)))
