VM

vm-select-recipient-from-sender function definition is void

Asked by Ingo W

Hi there,
I run emacs 24.2 and vm 8.2.0b. when I try to compose a message I get this error message:
function definition is void: vm-select-recipient-from-sender
This is known since bug 913005 and it has been reported that it was fixed. But not in vm 8.2.0b.
I apologize my blindness, but I can't find a later version that does not have this bug anymore. So, where can I find a version of vm, that does not show this bug anymore.
Best wishes and thanks in advance

There is no released version yet that contains the fix.

Here you can find the branch that does have the fix:
https://launchpad.net/vm/trunk

Specifically the commit to fix it was this one:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~vm/vm/trunk/revision/1331

You could manually apply that change to your vm while waiting for the next release.

Sorry, "Fix committed" means that it is in the development trunk. It is not yet in a release.

This problem has an easy work-around. If you do M-x vm when you start off, everything gets loaded and you won't run into this problem.

Cheers,
Uday

Thanks you both for your comments.
John, I looked at the version of vm-reply in revision 1331, and strangly, my vm-reply.el differs from the version of revision 1331. The version of (my) vm-reply.el in vm-8.2.0b.tgz has something as 8 lines less. Also the ;;;###autoload at line 1656 (1645) has been removed already. And vm.el looks different, too. Anyway, I did the changes and it seems to work now.
However, I noticed that if I mousclick on "Compose" in the "Send" tab I still get this error message.
greets
