Re: extending mark-paragraph

May I suggest you give Didier Verna's excellent patcher.el a test-drive. It's part of the xemacs-devel package. Just do M-x customize-group RET patcher RET Do some catch-all setups in the default group, then define your "Projects" (works great for projects other than XEmacs too!). Now you can M-x patcher-mail or even M-x patcher-mail-subproject Appropriate ChangeLogs will automatically be found and generically modified (according to M-x patch-to-change-log). You just edit them to your liking, insert them into the *mail to xmacs-patches ...* buffer with C-c C-p i and send off the mail. You'll love it!
