Yes. That sounds like a good cleanup. I include a copy of a previously posted bug report about bugs that my package takes care of. Can you tell me which of the recent bugs (if any) your package does NOT fix? And can you fix them? How about this--can you fix this too?

Completing mail abbrevs must only happen for strings after ^[tT]o:[:blank:]? or ,[:blank:] Wondering when my .mailrc entries were transferred to (define-abbrev-table 'mail-abbrevs '(...)) in ~/.abbrev_defs; was this a one time action or does Emacs maintain this list? Whenever Emacs decides to modify user files in tell the user about it (through a message dialog the user is considered to confirm) and add a comment. -- ke@suse.de (work) / keichwa@gmx.net (home): | http://www.suse.de/~ke/ | ,__o Free Translation Project: | _-\_<, http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/ | (*)/'(*) _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
