The probable reason the backtrace did not make it through the mail is
that it was produced using compiled code and so it contained binary
stuff (perhaps nul bytes) that confused the mailer. You should try to
produce backtraces using uncompiled code: they are much more informative
in general. Or you could elide the strings containing the binary stuff
as I have done below but that's less informative.
In this case, the backtrace is simple enough:
,----
| Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-number-of-arguments #[(arg)
| "..." [arg last-command this-command (16) (org-agenda-date-later-minutes org-agenda-date-earlier-minutes) org-agenda-date-later-minutes 1 (4) (org-agenda-date-later-hours org-agenda-date-earlier-hours) org-agenda-date-later-hours org-agenda-date-later prefix-numeric-value] 4 nil "P"] 0)
| org-agenda-do-date-later() <<< called with no argument
| eval((org-agenda-do-date-later))
| ...
| org-agenda-bulk-action(nil)
| call-interactively(org-agenda-bulk-action nil nil)
`----
C-h f org-agenda-do-date-later RET says:
,----
| org-agenda-do-date-later is an interactive Lisp function in
| `org-agenda.el'.
|
| (org-agenda-do-date-later ARG)
|
| Not documented.
`----
^^^
i.e. org-agenda-do-date-later takes a mandatory argument while you
called it with no argument. That's an error on your part, not a bug in
the code. Try defining a helper function to do the appropriate
impedance matching:
(defun my-org-agend-do-one-day-later ()
(interactive)
(org-agenda-do-date-later 1))
and passing that as the function in the bulk action.
Untested and I'm not sure that 1 is the right value to pass.
