A lot has happened over the last few years. There are a few things I just can't figure out. 1. How do you make the initial screen go away without clicking on it? I fire up RMAIL in my .emacs. I see RMAIL come up and then the initial screen comes up and I have to click to make it go away. In 19.34 it would not come up if RMAIL was started. 2. In perl-mode it seems to be checking for what color to make everything across the whole buffer interactively. I delete a " from a string and the whole buffer turns blue. The I put the " back and eventually it will turn back to normal colors. 19.34 only did this on the line being worked on. Is there a way to get the old behaviour? 3, I am not sure but I think I had a similar problem when editing an RMAIL message that had lots of " and ' characters. I would edit and it would take forever to take my typing as I moved things around. I did have a couple of large attachments in other mail messages so the rmail buffer size was about 3meg. 4. I can't figure out how to enable the browser and mime modes for rmail messages. Any help here would be appreciated. Hope someone can help. I hope responses can be by email. I don't frequent the news pages but can if needed. Thank you Warren Dodge
