When case-fold-search is nil, the dates in the rmail summary are all rendered as "??????". This is because of the regular expression in rmailsum.el at line 529. A string such as "May" doesn't match the regular expression: [adfjmnos][acepou][bcglnprtvy] because the capital letter doesn't match when case-fold-search is nil. The easy work-around is to turn on case-fold-search, but it would be nice to fix it properly, so that rmail works no matter what the user-set value is. It may also be useful to do a quick scan of the .el files to see if there are other cases where a nil value of case-fold-search might break some modes or behaviours. -- Christopher Neufeld Home page: http://www.cneufeld.ca/neufeld "Don't edit reality for the sake of simplicity"
