I used "C-u M-x rmail RET foo2.mail RET" in "emacs -Q". Does that reproduce the problem on your system? Yes. What about "emacs -nw" -- do you see the same slowdown there? Or is the problem limited to the GUI sessions? I am always using it in a terminal. It didn't occur to me that that made a difference to the scrolling. > Scrolling the file in Rmail mode is much faster in that version > than in the current version. So is C-n. How much more faster? Can you estimate the slowdown quantitatively? I tried it again now in several versions, and it is much faster now than it was before. I don't understand why the problem happened and then disappeared, but it has. For now, please forget it. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
