Subject: Multitasking in emacs?
Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2014 08:32:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zjh8ozuf.fsf@gmx.at> (raw)

Hi there,

When I do a update of the packages, like

M-X list-packages RET U x y

or when I send large emails, emacs seems to stop me from working for the
time this processes are running.  Is there a way to put this processes
in the background and working on in other buffers?

Thanks,
Martin
