if you didn't need to configure your email address into each and every
application you use? :-)
how many email applications do you use :P
being part of this "unix culture" i have never heard of using an ENV
var to set your email address
The situation is bad, of course, but the least worse solution I can
think of is making XEmacs a proper Gnome and KDE application, then it
could get your email address from Gnome/KDE. Doesn't work for
Windows, CDE, tty etc though.
and how many XEmacs users use gnome?? i used to but it pissed me off
