Having used fascist e-mail clients before I was scared that with Emacs you could indeed *change* the headers yourself and maybe even break something. But with time I learned to appreciate the extra power. I myself don't move into the prompt that often, but I like to know that I can if I need to, without having to hunt for some newly added user option. So, comfort and ease-of-use, yes; restriction and over-protection, no. -ECL _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
