Here's what I put in my ~/.vm file when I switched over from RMAIL.
Its not *excatly* like RMAIL, but I found it close enough to make the

Date: 12 Nov 92 03:36:09 GMT
Organization: CSIRO Division of Information Technology

I've been using Supercite 2.2 with VM 5 (beta) and lucid emacs 19.3.
Unfortunately, replying to a message is not easy is as I thought it would be.
Here's what happens:

Scenario 1:
1. I'm reading a message in INBOX
2. I hit "R"
3. I see a message in the reply buffer "Please designate a region to cite..."
4. Reply not cited
 
 
Scenario 2:
1. I'm reading a message in INBOX
2. I hit "r"
3. I do a C-c C-y 
4. I see a message in the reply buffer "Yank message number (..."
5. I hit return
6. Reply not cited
 
 
Scenario 3:
1. I'm reading a message in INBOX
2. I set the mark to the top of the message
3. I hit "R"
4. In the reply buffer the message is cited *but* 
5. I see the message "Wrong type argument..."
 
 
What I really want to do is just be able to hit "R" and have the entire message
cited and ready for me to reply to with no other intervention required. I
suspect I'm doing something stupid...

Yes, but it won't do what you want.  vm-mode-hooks in run before
new messages are gathered, so you code would be run too soon.

Supercite is _broken_ under lemacs 19.3.  Several people have

Anybody out there have a fix yet?

      I used to use RMAIL/Supercite and then switched to VM/Supercite. I
      don't remember I had any problems having them working together (I
      wonder if I even changed something, check out the Supercite doc to
      see if there is anything about hooking SC to VM).

      But I finally gave up Supercite. Just because it was too much of a
      heavy package for the basic things I need. VM provides everything I
      need (except formatted citing, which I added myself).

      If I remember well, a mere 'R' in RMAIL/VM was enough to have the
      message properly quoted (after the usual questions, including the
      irrititating "Inconsistent... Restrict?" one).

I've tried to use vm-auto-folder-alist to no avail. I've set it like this:

However, when I try to save a msg from the ctt-digest mailing list, which has 
a subject line of the form

Subject: comp.text.tex, <3-NOV-1992

it doesn't prompt to folder ctt-digest, as I'd expect. What's the right 
setting? Also, how do I specify a catch-all folder?

This is with vm5.31

Two things that you may find useful:

(1) The view-mode, conveniently accessed by using view-file or view-buffer.
(2) The variable buffer-read-only.  I use this via find-file-read-only.

I prefer (2), because the commands work as usual, but anything that would
modify the buffer simply generates an error and a warning beep.

If you use the primitive call-process, you don't have to worry about
the 'process finished' string you see in shell mode.  Here is one way
to write a function returning the output of pwd with the final \n
stripped.  I omitted checking for errors and such:

(defun foo () "Demo to show call-process"
  (let ((curbuf (current-buffer))		;; current buffer
	(buf (get-buffer "*foo*"))		;; temp buffer
	str)					;; return value
    (if buf					;; kill *foo*
	(kill-buffer buf))
    (setq buf (get-buffer-create "*foo*"))	;; create *foo*
    (call-process "pwd" nil buf)		;; pwd output to *foo*
    (set-buffer buf)				;; get dir, strip \n
    (setq str (buffer-substring (point-min) (- (point-max) 1)))
    (set-buffer curbuf)				;; restore current buffer
    (kill-buffer buf)				;; kill *foo*
    str))					;; return directory

This is needlessly complicated.  The elisp variable default-directory
always maintains the current directory, and is in fact what cd uses.

It is much simpler to use call-process if you are content to wait
until the subprocesses finishes completely.  Obviously, for things
like shell modes, you can't, but in this example it suffices.

For some reason, the problem is not with subst-char-in-region, but
rather with shell-command-on-region while selective-display is T.
Don't ask me why.  

For the interested, a new version of mime-compose.el (with

Gee.  I'm on VMS and I use rmail, so the solution is "obvious" to me:
get a copy of EMACS for VMS and run RMAIL on your messages.  Then copy
the resulting Babyl format files to your U*ix box.

As a possibly simpler alternative:
 - EXTRACT/ALL[/APPEND] the messages in any given VMS folder;
 - take the resulting file and copy it to your "mbox";
 - modify and use the following which was extracted from an RMAIL.EL
that was _tailored_for_VMS_.  I leave the mods to you; "all" you need
is to understand VMS's mail headers.

As the emacs info pages say:---


  When Emacs is started, it normally loads the file `.emacs' in your
home directory.  This file, if it exists, should contain Lisp code. 
It is called your "init file".  The command line switches `-q' and
`-u' can be used to tell Emacs whether to load an init file (*note
Entering Emacs::.).

  There can also be a "default init file", which is the library named
`default.el', found via the standard search path for libraries.  The
Emacs distribution contains no such library; your site may create one
for local customizations.  If this library exists, it is loaded
whenever you start Emacs.  But your init file, if any, is loaded
first; if it sets `inhibit-default-init' non-`nil', then `default' is
not loaded.

could someone tell me if there is any option for Read-Only mode in Emacs
like the view editor. I couldn't find them in the manuel.

I'm primarily using emacs to view info documentation...(I have to learn how
to use emacs, I use elvis now).  But info is very neat...

What is the advantage/disadvantage of composing multiple info files against
1 info file...there is a disadvantage in having lots of files to manage...

I had the xinfo widget, but it is undocumented and core dumps (I'm on SunOS 4.1.2 on 
sparcs).  Any other X viewers?  How about something like Suns Answerbook
(someone recently in Xerox asked: How do I put more message in AnswerBook...
it may be a better answer to use TeXinfo and provide a good info viewer).

Is there any initialization program to improve the compilation command of
a program in emacs?  I heard there is an initilization file that
let compilation in emacs work like turbo c.

I usually make a new window first with C-x 2 (which splits
the current window in half), and then do a C-x X-f to find
another file (or a C-x b to switch to another buffer).  

So doing C-x 2 twice generates three windows, albeit of unequal
size.  If that bothers you, the size of a window can be increased
with C-x ^ (arguments are useful on this one, e.g. C-u 10 C-x ^
will increase a window by ten lines).

Is that all you need?
