[mu4e bug] switch context in 1.12 not working about mu HOT 6 CLOSED

Easiest is probably to use mu4e-compose-context-policy wtih always-ask.

from mu.

From the v1.12.0 NEWS file:

message composer

mu4e-compose-context-switch is gone; it was a little too fragile. Best change when creating the message (mu4e asks you by default, see mu4e-compose-context-policy).

from mu.

Indeed; switching context while in the composer has been removed... sorry about.

from mu.

It was actually extremely useful: It happens many times that I receive an email on an account and have to reply with another account. Do you know how to do that with the new version?

Thanks a lot

from mu.

I guess so yes, thank you.

this sentence in https://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/mu4e/Context-policies.html

nil: don’t change the context; this is useful if you don’t change contexts very often, and e.g. manually changes contexts with M-x mu4e-context-switch.

was actually precisely my case...

thanks anyway, this was useful.

from mu.

Maybe a function "reply in a different context" could be useful here?
