But no user looks into the local mailboxes any more as most modern mail user agents like Thunderbird, Sylpheed, KMail, Evolution don't show the user mail in the local mailboy by default. My proposal is that Emacs should check whether a bounce message arrives in the local mailbox. For this purpose, it doesn't matter whether the human user thinks of looking in that local mailbox. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
