where display-time-mail-function is a user-definable function, which seems like the perfect thing for my situation. The problem is the "or" -- if my display-time-mail-function returns nil (to indicate that there is no new mail), instead of stopping there, it will continue with the standard mail-spool-file check.
Why do you think that is undesirable? Does this seem like a reasonable change to make? It seems that, without this change, display-time-mail-function is useless. It is not useless. It gives you a way to check for mail in some other place. If there's no mail in the other place, but there is mail in the standard place, the current code will say you have mail. Why is that a problem? _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
