When I click on Emacs icon or do Ctl-E in Tbird, not only is a new instance of Emacs opened, but somehow an implicit (server-mode -1) seems to be called, or something that requires me to issue M-x server-start from within the original session in order to have clicked on files open in that original emacs instance. Can any of you tell me what is going on? I have ALTERNATE_EDITOR environment variable set to C:\emacs\bin\runemacs.exe and emacsclientw.exe somewhere appropriate in the registry (win2000); at least server functionality works if I don't try to call it through Thunderbird.
