- Since the mh-e.el that comes with 19.6 doesn't use any of the new
- abilities of Lucid Emacs, I decided to try to make the changes myself.
- Not being a lisp programmer, I'm sure my changes are not optimal and I
- would like to see what others have done. If you've made changes to
- mh-e.el, I'd like to swap information.
-
- I've changed our local mh-e to be much more like the distributed
- version of GNUS. The distributed mh-e.el seemed to be an older
- version than the one in 18.59, so I started with the newer mh-e.el
- there. There is a MH menubar entry when you are in folder mode, and
- you can select a message to read by clicking the middle mouse button.
- It calls hilight-headers on the message currently being shown. Also,
- there are pop-up right button menus.
-
- However, I'm not happy with part of it. When inc'ing or
- rescan'ing a folder with the distributed mh-e.el, the messages between
- the end of the buffer and the ``current'' message are hilighted with
- the primary-selection color. I've place a few copies of the following
- line in various places in the code to stop this:
-
- (if zmacs-regions (zmacs-deactivate-region))
-
- This solution seems non-optimal to me. I only know from trial
- and error where these lines need to go, and I'm sure I've missed some
- of them because I don't exercise all of the mh-e functions. Is there
- a better way to do this?
