Doom-emacs: Compose mail buffer in mu4e is not in org-msg-mode

[pkazmier]

What did you expect to happen?
When composing an email from mu4e, I expect the compose buffer to be in OrgMsg mode like this:

What actually happened?
Instead, when I compose an email from mu4e, my compose buffer looks like this:

Additional details:
To workaround the issue, after the compose buffer opens without OrgMsg mode, I can do the following:

1. Kill the buffer.
2. Disable org-msg-mode.
3. Enable org-msg-mode.
4. Compose a new email and it will open in OrgMsg mode.

While testing other things, I also noticed that if I press C-x m (compose-mail) immediately after emacs starts up, that the compose buffer is not in the OrgMsg mode either. But, if I start emacs and wait for about 15 seconds, _then_ press C-x m, the buffer opens in OrgMsg mode.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start emacs.
2. Press SPC o m to open mu4e.
3. Press C to compose a new message.

As of dbe09f9 this issue should be resolved. Let me know if that isn't the case and I'll reopen it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

[pkazmier]

Confirmed. Thanks for fixing.

[jperras]

I hate to re-open a discussion on a closed issue, but it seems as though this fix has now made it so that mu4e always opens in org-msg-mode for myself, and I don't use org-mode at all.

Is there something I can do to have it open in mu4e compose mode by default?

Edit: my mail opens up in read-only mode now, too.

[pkazmier]

Looks like that feature is coming in #3971

[seanfarley]

I also came here wondering who broke my mail setup. Is org-msg supposed to be the default? I don't ever want to send html emails so can we have some setting that says, "no really, I only want text"?

P.S. This breaks inline replies which is something I find terribly reggressive.

[pkazmier]

I guess the question is whether or not the original author intended org-msg mode to be enabled by default. If it was supposed to be, then the fix is appropriate. If it was not supposed to be, then how was one supposed to enable this before?

Since I'm the only one that seemed the expect org-msg to be enabled by default, and many others are depending on the old behavior, it's probably best to undo this "fix". I'll just add the hook to mu4e-compose-pre in my private config.

[aghitza]

As pointed out by others here, org-msg strays so far from sane email behavior that it should not be forced as default on everyone, please.

[pkazmier]

@hlissner looks like we need to undo this change as it broke existing behavior for several folks.

[jperras]

I just realized that this may not be obvious for some, but in case you run into the aforementioned issue with org-msg-mode you can disable the hook with:

(remove-hook! 'mu4e-compose-pre-hook #'org-msg-mode)

until/if it is changed in master.

Please move this discussion to #3971, as it isn't related to OP's original issue.
