Re: Failure to submit second netnews message

I am a moderator of a NetNews list, which I control with emacs. With emacs-22 (beta) I can only accept one message; the second one says "Denied posting -- multiple copies" but it is not a multiple copy. If I restart emacs I can send one more message. This is not a precise report,

I think summarizing the problematic keys _at the very beginning_ of the tutorial or in a splash screen at it's startup would be much better than interrupting the tutorial text several times in the middle of a sentence. I think that reminders "right at the spot" will be helpful.

It would be even easier for a shell script to recongize without the parentheses I don't see their purpose (except making the value look like Lisp), so let's leave them out. Ok. ___ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org h

Your solution to set max address is very good. As you have mentioned, the original-point can not be calculated. And the same preblem also exists when exit hexl-mode. The orignal-point can be set use encode-coding-string. but the orignal-point used in hexl-exit seem need to encode the whole buffe

Window background color in text area (emacs-unicode-2 --with-gtk --with-xft)

2006-11-24 Thread Fabrice Ferino
Areas in all buffer displays (including minibuffer) not filled with text are painted with the window background color (gray). This happens on builds made on openSuSE 10.1. The problem is not occuring with the same sources built on Fedora 6 -- which uses a different version of the GTK+ library.
