What I really would like is; (defun switch-gnus-idle-daemon-do-log () (interactive) (setq gnus-idle-daemon-do-log (case gnus-idle-daemon-do-log (t 10) (otherwise t))) (message "gnus-idle-daemon-do-log: %s" gnus-idle-daemon-do-log)) Because I would like the default to be t and not 10. (For when the value is not one of the defined values.) But when I do this, it is always set to 10, because the case does not make a difference between t and 10. How do I solve this? -- Cecil Westerhof Senior Software Engineer LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/cecilwesterhof
