Subject: You can set this variable in your initialization file.
Date: Sun, 30 Mar 2008 01:06:21 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <jwvhceoiyyw.fsf-monnier+emacs@gnu.org> (raw)
I think this "feature" is a misfeature.
Many variables cannot usefully be set in the .emacs file and yet C-h v
keeps telling me "You can set this variable in your initialization
file".
Either we fix it to do the right thing (i.e. only say it when it's
true), or we should remove it.
Stefan
