In from Yosemite onwards, programs started from the finder / spotlight /
gui (however you call this) do *not* inherit from the .bashrc
anymore. This caused many problems. Furthermore, there seems to be a
change from emacs 24.5 to emacs 25 in this regard (this is why I had to
add
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(exec-path-from-shell-copy-env "LC_ALL")
(exec-path-from-shell-copy-env "LANG")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
to my emacs.org to get the LANG in R correct.
Unfortunately I can't find the thread on the internet anymore about
these problems.

This is a lovely little package and very useful.
Cheers,
