Hey folks,
Not sure if these are bugs -- I'm running xemacs 21.4.6, the debian
"testing packages" on a debian "unstable" system.
I've just recently migrated to xemacs from FSF emacs, mostly happy
with the experience. I'm having a little trouble with colors in the
xterm, which I can't seem to activate properly. In FSF emacs, I used
mail-mode to compose messages, and it gave me lovely colored
highlighting of quoted text, etc. I can't seem to get this to come
back, though I have finally been able to get some colors to wok,
notably blue for the mode line and red/gold for highlighting marked
regions. But the highlighting of, e.g., headers and quoted text in
mail (or, now, the modified "post" -- I've tried both) mode, or even
of comments in programming modes, eludes me.
I'd heard that people have trouble with the default colors in the
terminal, so I tried customizing them. No effect.
All these features atually work pretty well when xemacs is called
without the -nw switch; the trouble arises only in the terminal.
Any ideas where I should look? I've posted my .xemacs directory
online, at
http://www.derailleur.org/xemacs
if anyone wants to take a look. Didn't want to send all them files to
the whole list, though.
Another problem, which I've been able to confirm with other users, has
to do with movement-related hooks to modes. For instance, this "post"
mode, which was developed for use with mutt, includes a hook moving
the cursor to the start of the mail text when the mode is loaded.
THis doesn't seem to work most of the time; I have the impression that
maybe the command is issued before text is actually read into the
buffer. Is there a way to make sure text is in the buffer before
actually issuing a command? I think that would solve this problem.
Anyway, thanks for your help!

Sorry adrian,
the permissions should be fixed now. In addition, my color issues seem
to have been solved along the way -- I was missing a
(require 'font-lock)
(setq-default font-lock-maximum-decoration t)
sequence. trivial, but EXTREMELY time-consuming.
I still have this issue about movement-related hooks. I'd really like
for emacs to pop me out underneath the mail headers, rather than above
them, but neither I nor other folks on the mutt-user list have had any
luck with various solution Many of them work fine after the buffer's
have been opened -- for instance, a (mail-text) hook in mail-mode works
fine iF I switch to mail-mode from another mode, but if the buffer is
initially opened in mail-mode, the cursor tays stuck att he top of the
buffer.
DOes this sound like a bug of some kind? Any idea how it can be
fixed?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt, I suggest you upgrade to XEmacs 21.4.14 if possible.
Many issues were fixed since 21.4.6.
See
http://www.xemacs.org/Releases/21.4.7.html#summary
thru
http://www.xemacs.org/Releases/21.4.14.html#summary
Yes, I can get to http://www.derailleur.org/xemacs/
now, thanks.

The XEmacs way to enable font-lock for a mode called 'my-major-mode
would be
(add-hook 'my-major-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
provided 'my-major-mode has a 'my-major-mode-hook.
I do not (require 'font-lock), just use the above for various modes.

I use message mode under gnus.
It leaves me in the
To:
header when creating a new message.
In case I'd rather be in body, I use
C-c C-b (message-goto-body)
but the to address is probably a good thing to fill in first.
I haven't used mutt.
