Having general-purpose features like this makes Emacs cleaner and simpler than having many special-purpose features for doing various jobs of this kind. Instead of making and documenting some special-purpose features for copying messages from calendar commands, we should document that you can do it by going to the *Messages* buffer. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
