These problems > are rare when users only use a single device to read from local storage, It seems there are real users whose use of Rmail would not be with a single device, reading from local storage. I have to believe it, but I am surprised becaause I don't see how that would happen. Would you like to tell me the scenarios of usage that you were using? Emacs always reads or writes the entire file, and does it in a way designed to avoid any chance of half-written files. Also, it has interlocking for writing a file from multiple Emacses. That applies to all files, not just Rmail flles. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
