I use emacs in conjunction with exmh which is quite nice in terms of editing power. In particular I like the way it can reformat paragraphs, and even does this reformatting correctly when the paragraph is indented using characters or whatever. The main problem is that it takes forever to load, even when you only want to write a simple email. Can anyone recommend a replacement?

It will variously (depending on your (X)Emacs config and current setup either spawn a new frame for the file, addit it to your edit ring, or bring a text mode session in your current terminal. The advantage is that you only ever need to start and load (X)Emacs once. From then on you're just attaching edit sessions to the single running instance. Gnuclient is packaged as a part of XEmacs (which I use in preference to GNU Emacs), or as a seperate package for GNU Emacs. -- J C Lawrence Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --(*) Other: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --=| A man is as sane as he is dangerous to his environment |=--
