I noticed that FC's "Directly open Write Mail on empty inbox" feature is not working if used together with EasyMail.

After inspection, it turned out that this is actually caused on EasyMail's side: They kill the MailFrame's OnShow script at login time with a SetScript. So your hook is removed.

I have already opened an issue over at EasyMail, suggesting to fix this (by using HookScript instead of SetScript). You also find more details there.

So, currently, this post is just a FYI.

However, it seems that EasyMail hasn't seen updates for quite a while (besides the toc bumps), so I wouldn't be surprised if they don't fix it. It is also possible that they are using SetScript for some reason that escapes me.

In that case, this will be a great candidate for "stuffing" your ThirdPartySupport.lua file a bit 😉 (e.g. with a delayed second hook if EasyMail is loaded).

Thanks for FC,

Although I'm not a big fan of fixing other peoples bugs (using SetScript() is just pure evil at work.), I was able to come up with a little workaround.
The hooks are now set on demand. So that gives EasyMail enough time Set everything up. :)

fixed with version 2.11

100% agree, but currently there aren’t many good and working mail addons besides FC (actually I think EasyMail is the only one worth using, albeit not as “mandatory” as FC), so implementing workarounds for the flaws of the (few) others is a good and friendly thing towards the users who can’t fix it themselves.

I mean, if we face an interfering Blizz bug or flaw, we also try to work around that, instead of waiting months/years for them to fix it, right? 😉

(Also, I felt compelled to let you know about this by the mere presence of your ThirdPartySupport.lua file.)

Thanks for your work!
