Hi Marc, Ah, I see a "moderator approval" message in my incoming mbox file, which must be being sorted off somewhere else before I see my inbox. I'm sorry for the confusion, and for wasting your time - it's probably best not to talk about this or try to fix it because part of the problem is that I'm using a broken mail setup, because my usual system broke on an Ubuntu upgrade, and that's also why I'm writing you about changes made to rxvt-unicode in the past few years. Thank you for moderating my messages.

Emacs does not request for Urxvt to blink the cursor. It requests for Urxvt to make it "very visible". I requested for Urxvt to make it "not blink". Given those two requests, I think the correct action is something other than "make it blink". The terminfo man page gives the example of turning the cursor from an underline to a block, for example, when cvvis is received, as an alternative to making it blink. Even if there were a specific terminfo capability to make the cursor blink, I would expect to be able to turn it off on my terminal, just like the bell and other things which various applications could do to annoy me. I can't control what sort of configurations I'll encounter in every system I log in to, and don't necessarily want to learn about the configuration of every application that could send cvvis. You seem to have a different philosophy, in which case just refer to the above paragraph. Note that I personally also want rxvt-unicode to not receive rmcup/smcup - this behavior is also configurable with xterm (titeInhibit), but until it is configurable with rxvt-unicode, I'll have to be using a custom terminfo (that also solves the blinking problem). So maybe you think that a custom terminfo is a better solution, I don't know. Many applications are simply not configurable to not send rmcup/smcup when they exit. I notice that there is a 'blink' terminfo string for blinking text. Although I've never encountered an application that uses it, my ideal terminal would provide a way to turn off both blinking text and blinking cursor. FWIW. Best, Frederick P.S.: I have this 'vi' for some reason, perhaps it was installed with the Arch base system: $ pacman -Qi vi Name : vi Version : 1:070224-1 Description : The original ex/vi text editor Architecture : i686 URL : http://ex-vi.sourceforge.net/ On Wed, Jun 17, 2015 at 11:27:03AM +0200, Marc Lehmann wrote: > On Tue, Jun 16, 2015 at 04:25:23AM -0700, Frederik Eaton <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > What wasn't clear in the automated reply you got?
