Why are you working on forks for the Debian modified version instead of working on making Emacs itself do the right thing? Whatever that right thing may be, it doesn't make sense to do it only in the Debian modified version. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
