Does not Paste Message Back into TB from External Editor #119

Closed stef204 closed 11 months ago

stef204 commented 1 year ago

After following all the instructions here , extension installs but, after configuration, while it opens external editor (emacs client) and let's me write a message there, it does not save or transfer (or paste) it back inside Thunderbird to be sent. Basically, TB editor stays blank, after saving file in external editor.

I can see the message in the directory I have configured (/tmp/temp.eml) but,again, it does not paste it back into TB when exiting and saving file in emacs. So extension not usable for me in its current form.

Can't find anything in console.

I am having exact same issue, but on MacOS Ventura.

@madhat2r this seems to be working for me.

What are your settings in the External Editor Revived preferences in Thunderbird?

Could this probably be a situation similar to this one? I'm asking because the behavior when not using --wait - or a possible variant for your situation - is the same. That is, the editor opens the file, but control immediately returns to Thunderbird which only gets the original file before passing it to the editor.
