I normally have two emacs instances open at once. One for reading mail and news, and one for everything else. The reason for this is that sometimes connecting to the news server or mail server is slow, and emacs hangs while this is happening. Also I use a different .emacs for the mail client so it starts much faster (my main emacs often takes several minutes to start as I use desktop, and often have many files loaded). I use gnuclient to direct the "everything else" emacs instance. Mostly I use this for just opening files, but occasionally more complex things. I'm trying out using "galeon" as a web browser. It has nice support for interpreting "mailto:" tags by calling emacs via gnuclient. Unfortunately this starts up in the wrong emacs. I would like to maintain my two emacs system, and still be able to launch mail with gnuclient. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how. Cheers Phil
