It's best to do it that way. Your old way was clever, but taking stuff from the input queue probably won't be reliable long-term. Future Exim versions might change the input queue format. > Instead of simply showing me my messages, emacs evidently executes them in > the sense that something automagicly causes a new buffer to appear which > seems to be a reply-to-message buffer with To and From fields filled in > (and I get beeps from the PC speaker). > > The above happens only with some messages, which leads me to believe that > something about a particular message causes code to be executed. > > Is this a "feature"? How do I tell emacs that it please should refrain > from automagicly executing code on behalf of email messages!!! Rmail has never done that to me. Like Eli said I think it's likely to be something in your init file doing it. Do you have any bits of code that are from keyboard macros? I.e. code from insert-kbd-macro? It can do that kind of thing. BR, Robert Thorpe
