(Please respond to him too--in general, when I ask people to fix a bug, part of that should be to send a thanks for the bug report.) And please note his praise for all of us. ------- Start of forwarded message ------- X-Spam-Status: No, score=1.4 required=5.0 tests=SPF_NEUTRAL,UNPARSEABLE_RELAY autolearn=no version=3.1.0 From: Robert Boyer To: bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2007 04:52:59 -0500 (CDT) Subject: follow-mode arg should be optional In follow.el, we read: (defun follow-mode (arg) ... Maybe that arg should be &optional, so that it is possible to put follow-mode in the first line of a file, with, e.g., -*- mode: follow; -*- As it is now, I believe a wrong-number-of-arguments error arises when the code that parses such first lines tries to execute (follow-mode). The error is masked to some extent, but still shows up in a part of my screen. Thanks so much for Emacs. What a wondrous system -- one of the real seven wonders of the world. Forced to choose between Emacs and, say, any pyramid, I'd take Emacs.
