I made an earlier comment about this, but I did some investigation
now.
Sometimes I get a message that .emacs is read-only. This is true,
because it is a link to an emacs.el file that is owned by root and
read-only for the user.
I get the question: do you want to write? If I say yes, it fails and
my message/article is not send. If I say no it is also not send.
I could live with it, because when I try to send it again, it
succeeds. But annoying it is.
When looking more closely I found that two things are changed.
I have a custom-set-variables section and beside changing the sequence
it adds (beside other things):
;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
'(canlock-password "…")
'(delete-selection-mode nil)
'(mark-even-if-inactive t)
It also adds:
(custom-set-faces
;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
)
I do not have a custom-set-faces in the emacs.el.
Why does emacs tries to change .emacs and can I circumvebt this?
