That said, I can see the writing on the wall. I'm not going to
invest
any additional time lobbying for change in this area.
Let me see whether I understand the background of the problem. Gnus has,
since approximately 2 years, the feature of adding registers (tag) to its
messages, a feature for example Thunderbirds provides.
It was not very stable and maybe that is why Ted changed the
implementation entirely, using in some way hash tables, but the
consequence was/is that this nifty feature cannot be used any more in
Xemacs.
If I understand it correctly Steve is against such a feature because it
might cause problems in other places (and should so in GNU Emacs). Is
this correct?
If so, I assist Mike: at the end GNU Emacs has a nifty feature and
Xemacs has none.
