Thanks. At first I was incredulous to hear it but then I found this in NEWS which explains the rationale. ** When Emacs prompts for file names, SPC no longer completes the file name. This is so filenames with embedded spaces could be input without the need to quote the space with a C-q. The underlying changes in the keymaps that are active in the minibuffer are described below under "New keymaps for typing file names". In your opinion, should we be setting minibuffer-completing-file-name to t when calling completing-read to complete mail folders? I suspect that we do since folders are essentially files and can also contain spaces (I just checked--MH doesn't appear to barf if you create a folder with spaces). If not, what would we need to do to get the proper character to highlight? If minibuffer-completing-file-name is nil, then the highlighting is one character to the right of where it should be. -- Bill Wohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD Maintainer of comp.mail.mh FAQ and MH-E.
