Forwarding mail from RMAIL

2007-03-21 Thread jpff
I was dealing with e-mail -- I use RMAIL.  I tried to forward a
message with full headers, as I have been doing for years.
t to get headers
f to forward
I get a message that RMAIL is readonly.  It does create a *mail*
buffer with the header info, but it is not displayed.

Earlier I tried m to send mail and that created the *mail* but did not
show it, and I had to search for it.
  This was OK yesterday with first build of 22.0.96.3

 Sigh.  Seems like a magic string for the TeXshop TeX editor.  But I

 I think a bug report to the TeXshop is in order.
 Uh, you people are joking, right?

 Nope!

 It is not a bug in TeXshop if Emacs' magic-mode-alist goes out of control
 and calls everything PostScript.

 The %! thingy is not Emacs's invention.  It's how postscript was
 specified.

The only relevant standard I can find starts off with %!PS-Adobe.
In contrast, %! is far too generic to be useful.  It may be a
heuristic for a PostScript interpreter to decide whether it is getting
fed PostScript on stdin.  But it does not sound like a useful
heuristic for a text editor to decide whether a named file contains
PostScript code or anything else.

 And for that reason `file greek-utf8.tex' agrees with Emacs.

 This said, I'd be happy to see the %! entry removed from
 magic-mode-alist, because I think magic-mode-alist should really be
 kept to its absolute strictest minimum.

I don't think that %!PS has comparable potential to do accidental
harm.  Whether it does noticeable good is a different question
altogether.

However, dvips -i produces PostScript files where the extension is
replaced by a serial number.  Those will not be recognized as
PostScript without magic number detection.  %!PS is completely
sufficient for that purpose, however.

I think that little except hand-crafted PostScript would ever start
with %! alone, and hand-crafted PostScript will have a proper file
name.

Even if one uses
dvips -N
(which disabled structured comments) the file starts with
%!PS (but not EPSF; comments have been disabled)

So I think that %!PS _does_ have some usefulness, and it is clearly
not as overboard as %!.

 Certainly, it should only be used for file formats which are often
 found without a telling file extension. Alas, it seems like Postscript
 is one of those.

Do you have an example for a Postscript file on your system that is
neither identified by the magic string %!PS nor an appropriate
extension?

 No. But I don't understand your question. I was agreeing with you
 (yeah, it happens sometimes).

Basically, we have three proposals (partly proposed by previously
existing code):

a) accept %! as magic PostScript override (previous behavior)
b) accept %!PS as magic override (what I proposed and checked in)
c) don't accept any magic postscript override

When arguing against c), it is not clear whether you agree with a)
being a sufficiently bad idea.

I had one example file causing problems with option a), and I already
gave examples for files requiring b) (those produced using dvips -i
don't have an extension, but in all cases start with %!PS).

My point of view is that b) nowadays appears like the most
pragmatically useful option, judging from problematic cases I have
seen.

If people can live with that, I suggest we leave it at that.  While
there are arguments for the other choices, we had them mentioned
(Stefan's argument that magic should be kept to a minimum certainly
_is_ valid) and, I believe, considered.  Repeating them will just
waste time.

If people feel that they have been weighed wrongly, the way to resolve
this is not repeating arguments, but vote on the resolution.

Anybody who feels that the current solution b) as checked in by myself
is not the best solution?

If so, I'd want to either hear new arguments or have a vote.

Everything else seems like a waste of time.

Complete agreement.  But it still means that TeXshop should avoid the %!
magic characters because they have a conflicting meaning in some contexts.

I don't claim that TeXshop should change for the sake of Emacs: it should
change because its choice is fundamentally wrong, whether that bites Emacs
users or not is irrelevant.

 This said, I'd be happy to see the %! entry removed from
 magic-mode-alist, because I think magic-mode-alist should really be
 kept to its absolute strictest minimum.

 I don't think that %!PS has comparable potential to do accidental

Obviously using a stricter regexp is good in my book since it means that
magic-mode-alist is used less often.

 However, dvips -i produces PostScript files where the extension is
 replaced by a serial number.  Those will not be recognized as
 PostScript without magic number detection.  %!PS is completely
 sufficient for that purpose, however.

Well, I find the likelihood of someone trying to edit with Emacs the output
of dvips -i sufficiently low that it doesn't justify in my eye the use of
a magic-mode-alist entry for it.  That's just an opinion.  Maybe a better
solution is to make dvips output file names of the form foo.NNN.ps rather
than foo.ps.NNN.

 So I think that %!PS _does_ have some usefulness, and it is clearly
 not as overboard as %!.

We agree that it's a step in the right direction.

do you remember why you put an entry

in magic-mode-alist?  Did it just seem like a good idea or was there
some particular (set of) circumstances you had bumped into that called
for it?

.gif image fails to display correctly

2007-03-21 Thread Chris Moore
http://i.iinfo.cz/urs-att/gif2_e-115572866858321.gif is an example of
a .gif image which contains more than 256 colours.  It does this by
using multiple frames with a 0ms separation between them.

Emacs only displays the first frame.

This may well be something that isn't worth fixing in Emacs, but I
thought I should mention it anyway.

Recentf customization too late

2007-03-21 Thread Stephen Berman
1. Let your ~/.emacs file contain only this line:
(recentf-mode 1)
2. Start Emacs without any command line arguments.  The File menu
contains a submenu Open Recent, and this contains no files (the value
of recentf-list is nil).
3. Visit several files.  These will now be listed in the Open Recent
menu (and in the list value of recentf-list).
4. Click on the Options item in the Open Recent menu (or type M-x
customize-group RET recentf RET) and in the customization buffer
change the value of recentf-save-file, e.g. to ~/.recentfoo, and then
click `Save for Future Sessions'.
5. Kill Emacs.  From the shell you can confirm that your ~/.emacs
contains the customization of recentf-save-file, and that ~/.recentfoo
exists and contains the list of files you visited, as the value of
recentf-list.
6. Start Emacs without any command line arguments.  The Open Recent
still contains no files (the value of recentf-list is nil), although
the value of recentf-save-file is what you had set
(e.g. ~/.recentfoo).

The following patch (modelled on the recent fix by Glenn Morris to
analogous problems in calendar.el and diary-lib.el) fixes this bug.
(I haven't checked whether other defcustoms in recentf.el are also
susceptible to this bug, so I kept the fix local to recentf-save-file,
rather than introducing a separate function, as Glenn did.)

set-face-attribute doesn't set default for new frames

2007-03-21 Thread Rob Walker
Hi,

set-face-attribute doesn't set the default for new frames with todays CVS.
Instead, the value used in custom-set-faces is used instead even though I
specify nil for the frame (all current frames and future frames) in 
set-face-attribute.

I have custom vars set up for various faces and then some machine specific
overrides (using set-face-attribute) for when the normal face doesn't look
very good.  I've managed to reduce the steps needed to reproduce the bug to
the following:

1. Make .emacs contain only the following:


(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.
 '(variable-pitch ((t (:weight normal :height 1.0 :width normal :family 
Bitstream Vera Sans
 )

; set the machine specific face
(set-face-attribute 'variable-pitch nil :family DejaVu Sans)

2. Start emacs

3. Type M-x describe-face RET variable-pitch RET
   The face family will be shown as DejaVu Sans

4. Create a new frame with M-x make-frame RET

5. Type M-x describe-face RET variable-pitch RET
   The face family will be incorrectly shown as Bitstream Vera Sans
   The variable-pitch face will have the incorrect Bitstream Vera Sans
   family on all other frames.

This is different to the behaviour with my last build of emacs (2006-12-01)
which showed the correct behaviour of keeping DejaVu Sans on all frames.

Regards

Rob Walker

`inhibit-point-motion-hooks' isn't configurable

2007-03-21 Thread Chris Moore
In a regular *shell* buffer, I see that C-a doesn't go to the beginning of a 
line like it does in other buffers.  I explore this by describing the key 
binding.  I see that:
  C-a runs the command move-beginning-of-line
and:
  To ignore intangibility, bind `inhibit-point-motion-hooks' to t.

That sounds like it might be what I want to do, so I click on the link
to see the docs for inhibit-point-motion-hooks.  To my surprise,
there's no you can customize this variable link, and since I'm so
used to being mollycoddled by Emacs, I don't know how to customize it
manually.

I think we need to decide whether to mention this variable and make it

`move-beginning-of-line' doesn't move to beginning of line

2007-03-21 Thread Chris Moore
In *shell* buffers, C-h k C-a tells me that:

  C-a runs the command move-beginning-of-line
  Move point to beginning of current line as displayed.

However, when I hit C-a, the cursor stays at the end of the prompt,
not at the beginning of the line.  This may be desired behaviour
(although I find it annoying; I often want to go to the beginning of
the prompt) but it isn't the documented behaviour.  The documentation
should match the behaviour one way or the other.

Re: .gif image fails to display correctly

 http://i.iinfo.cz/urs-att/gif2_e-115572866858321.gif is an example of
 a .gif image which contains more than 256 colours.  It does this by
 using multiple frames with a 0ms separation between them.

 Emacs only displays the first frame.

 This may well be something that isn't worth fixing in Emacs, but I
 thought I should mention it anyway.

Animated gifs aren't supported in Emacs.

Re: File type misclassification

 a) accept %! as magic PostScript override (previous behavior)
 b) accept %!PS as magic override (what I proposed and checked in)
 c) don't accept any magic postscript override

 My point of view is that b) nowadays appears like the most
 pragmatically useful option, judging from problematic cases I have
 seen.

I agree.  (b) is the conservative change.

% is a common enough comment character that I can see %! as being
slightly risky, but %!PS is far less so.

 The documentation should match the behaviour one way or the other.

I would suggest adding something like:

   This function constrains point to the current field in a similar manner
   to `beginning-of-line' (see that function for details).

to the docstring.

  What oversight? what next patch?  Please provide some minimal details.
 
 Check the diff of 1.53 and and the diff of 1.54 and you'll understand.

But since you already understood that, why not tell it and save me
some time?
