With Emacs 21 you can have display-margins. That is, you can leave some columns empty at the left or at the right. Then, your normal text can have some text or image assigned to display in that margin. Eval this in the scratch buffer to see how it in action. (Warning, manual elisp mail worm ) (require 'time) ;; to get an example icon (setq left-margin-width 2) ;; Now C-x b to this buffer! See the new margin. (insert (propertize "Bla" 'display `((margin left-margin) ,display-time-mail-icon))) Martin
