And can you fix them? Unfortunately, until recently I did not know about the fact that bug reports did not only get posted on gnu.emacs.bug, but also on the emacs-devel@gnu.org mailing list. I just subscribed this evening. Gerd did not ask me to watch either this site or gnu.emacs.bug. (He did tell me to contact this site when I contacted him more recently.) Hence, I did not even watch the site I did know about too carefully. I just assumed Gerd would contact me if anybody reported problems on the things I was working on. I did not know that Gerd was no longer at the FSF. As mentioned, my package does fix the problems in the report I included in my original message. I will mail you a report on the bug report you forwarded me shortly. In as far as the one other one I noticed while wading through the February archives: I am thinking that it is wasteful to load sendmail.el if the user is using message.el instead. This is exactly the main thing I still need to worry about. My package is essentially ready in as far as RMAIL is concerned, which is the mailer I use, but I still need to worry how it affects message mode. My package presently loads sendmail, but that could change. I will have to take a look at message.el. I have not yet done so. Was your message below the final word on the subject? (require 'mailabbrev) Richard Stallman rms@gnu.org Sat, 9 Feb 2002 22:18:35 -0700 (MST) It would be wasteful to load a substantial file just to use 5 lines of code.
