Can you share a screenshot perhaps, with some comments? I don't see
any of the problems you mention here.
This imap server will not let me send attachments for some reason, but
upon an error happening, the following is displayed:
make[1]: *** [Makefile:409: advice-on-failure] Error 2
Clicking on the link to the Makefile insists on taking me to
~/path-to-emacs-src/make[1]: *** [Makefile
instead of the actual Makefile, which is what used to happen, and what
happens with my version of the message.
The link is also fontified incorrectly, with too much underlined above.
