Thanks' a lot. I now solved the problem. slocal was working properly,
but exmh failed the call because of the wrong read permissions on
the file .maildelivery. In fact I just updated the system, and that
permission was denied, for some reason. So, the second problem of the
list is now solved. The others two are still pending.

I solved the first problem by using emacs as editor :-), but I would
not call it a real solution. The third problem is more consistent,
and I can not avoid it, it seems. Is somebody happily running exmh
with Tk 8.0.4 out there?
