Yes, but I forgot about the unbound case. > When I put it near the beginning of my .emacs, I get [an error][...] Ah, I forgot that case. One could say (if (boundp 'nnmail-split-methods) nnmail-split-methods "unbound") instead of just nnmail-split-methods in the statement. > When I put it late enough in my .emacs, I still don't see anything, but > it at least runs. How come you don't see anything? Weird. Does it help to use sit-for instead of sleep-for? Does it help to say (redraw-display) before (sleep-for 3) or (sit-for 3)? Ick.

Yes, Emacs uses *.elc even if *.el is newer. It then helpfully prints "(source file is newer)" in the echo area (minibuffer). > At any rate, the suggestion to look at load-history was just what I > needed; thanks!
