Here are a few problems: . The new left and right wrap margins (?) that display the line wrap char etc are black on my screen. I have looked everywhere to try and change this to a different color. I can't find an Xresource or a piece of lisp code to do this. . While we are at it, I tried to change the color of the scroll bars. I read about the new scroll-bar faces but could not make it work. . I use rmail for my mail. I used to use the mime-setup.el from MORIOKA Tomohiko and I was happy with this. I needed to remove this from my .emacs to get emacs21 to run. Reading the NEWS I see that 21 has inbuilt mime decoding, but how do I use it. . When starting I use 'emacs -geometry 80x48', I see the window draw and then it resizes to a smaller size before completion. I found the problem is when I turn off 'tool-bar-mode' It seems the window dimensions take into account the tool-bar and then it readjusts. Any way of getting round this. Where can I get information on how to set up faces. I would like to redo the colors in the gnus article view mode. -- Daryl Sayers Corinthian Engineering Ph: (02) 9906 7866 Suite 19, 401 Pacific Hwy Fax: (02) 9906 1556 Artarmon, NSW, 2064 email: daryl@ci.com.au Australia www: http://www.cordoors.com.au
