* some modeline helper balloons clipped off left edge of screen @ 2003-03-31 18:49 Dan Jacobson [not found] ` <E190eOG-0001qB-00@fencepost.gnu.org> 0 siblings, 1 reply; 5+ messages in thread From: Dan Jacobson @ 2003-03-31 18:49 UTC (permalink / raw) Start emacs, do say C-x C-b to make the modeline full of goodies. Now move the mouse slowly along the modeline. Helper balloons pop up as we move over the various items there, however, some have their beginning words clipped off the left edge of the screen. (C-h l shows several <help-echo>.) Putting the mouse on the leftmost place of the modeline works ok, but if instead placed on the rightmost place, we see the clipping. Also, just start emacs. All there in the modeline is just "---GNU Emacs---". In this state putting the mouse on the modeline does noting at all. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Well, it is hidden too here in gnus, but every gnus produced message has it in the header, so if I were you, I'd tell rmail not to hide that header for you, and even instead, highlight it, blink it :-), as it seems like a good thing to know for you. I.e. unless the user mentions differently, the one in the header is what he's using. I mean all these bytes added to each message over the years and the Chief GNUisance is not benefiting from them?!

Seriously though, you overestimate my bandwidth, 56K, with another coin dropping every 10 minutes, and even if I wanted to blow the dough, they said my mountaintop hideaway is too far for ADSL etc. Plus, with my new multifaceted life, I don't even use the computer every day. And, with my Limited Edition Brain, I leave the setting up to Debian Sid, which I freshen with CDs maybe once a year on some rare trip to town. Anyway, it seems 4 out of 5 of my bugs are still there anyway, not bad. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
