I remember when I started using emacs with an older version, I could dismiss the splash screen just by typing text, and it would jump automatically to the scratch buffer. This no longer seems to be the case, though. Now, it just beeps when I type in the splash screen (unless I type enter while over a link). To answer the other question, I compiled emacs with --with-x=3Dno, and use it entirely in the terminal. I tried sending a bug report, and it claimed that it sent it, but I am skeptical that it worked, because I used my email address and it never asked me for authentication. Is there any way to check? What would you recommend setting my message-send-mail-function to?
