Hmm, this might be true, except that this won't show up unless one has multiple summary buffers, which is not possible under the old user interface, right? (or at least when I checked I only had one article buffer, coresponding to the group I was in, which wasn't the first group I had pulled up articles in) Also I know I would be more likely to look for a hook to turn off some undesirable behaviour than to turn on a desirable one. >> >> third, a question: what are the "#'"s for in mail-header.el for? >> >> They break compilation under 19.29, but 19.30 doesn't complain, >> so >> I was wondering. >> GS> from the Info file: >> I know that.

Hmm, that is a decent point, but there should be a different way of keeping auto-folder-alist from messing with things without using the 'raw s. (This is important to me because I have over four meg worth of gzipped mail folders) Thanks for your time, Suika (who just modified her copy of bbdb so that it doesn't bug out on multiple article buffers, happiness, it works ^_^ ) -- wrobert2@mailhost.tcs.tulane.edu Remember, though, the words of the Pope John Paul George Ringo the Aforementioned: "Analyzing a joke is like dissecting a frog; you can find out how it works, but you have to kill it in the process."
