While this is useful, I'd like to get feedback from you guys on how I could configure the actual strings that form the modeline contribution, for instance, abbreviate the Message mode string that goes into the modeline to Msg, hook a defun to abbreviate the main method (or just remove it), a defun to massage the summary and article modeline with regards. I appreciate any pointers to variables or info nodes I missed, or Lisp snippets :) TIA, Nelson -- Nelson Ferreira
