Dear Bug Team! 21.5.b28 has an annoying regression where it incorrectly sets the buffer modified flag. M-x shell touch /tmp/blah C-x f /tmp/blah M-x shell echo "change" >> /tmp/blah C-x b blah M-x revert-buffer "yes" The buffer "blah" is now marked as modified. This is not reproducible under 21.5.b27. ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux paston01 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux ./configure '--with-dragndrop' '--disable-debug' '--disable-error-checking' '--with-xft=emacs,tabs,gauges' '--with-sound=alsa' XEmacs 21.5-b28 "fuki" configured for `i686-pc-linux'.

Defaulting to the GNU Emacs-derived `sendmail.el' mail client. This facility, while part of base XEmacs, is heinously underfeatured, and not going to get better in the medium term. We include it so that bug reports work without packages; we suggest that you choose and/or install one of the other mail clients from packages if you're doing something other than M-x report-xemacs-bug , or even if you are reporting bugs regularly. To choose a package from those installed, click on "Options" -> "Internet" -> "Compose Mail With ..." and decide on one from the list. Gnus and VM are full-featured and have active user communities. To disable this warning and stick with the old behavior, you can explicitly initialize `mail-user-agent' to 'sendmail-user-agent .
