I had no idea that that Stephen> was the original code, or what was going on with the code either, Stephen> didn't report the bug, and forgot to go back to the problem. :-( Ok, I took a look at why I did this. I remember now that I switched to using customize to set up sc-attrib-selection-list. I have some code in there (pretty mangled): [INS] [DEL] Cons-cell: Regexp: \([^ ]+\) \([^ ]+\) (\(EUS\|QCS\|ECS\|CRD\|EML\|LMC\|EED\|EIN\|EMN\|QML\|ERA\)) Choice: [Value Menu] Repeat: [INS] [DEL] Repeat: [INS] [DEL] Lisp expression: let [INS] [DEL] Lisp expression: ((field (sc-mail-field "from"))) [INS] [DEL] Lisp expression: (string-match "\" ?\\([^ ]+\\) \\([^ ]+\\) (\\(EUS\\|QCS\\|ECS\\|CRD\\|EML\\|LMC\\|EED\\|EIN\\|EMN\\|QML\\|ERA\\))" field) [INS] [DEL] Lisp expression: (match-string 1 field) [INS] [INS] I really just wanted: (let ((field (sc-mail-field "from"))) (string-match "\" ?\\([^ ]+\\) \\([^ ]+\\) (\\(EUS\\|QCS\\|ECS\\|CRD\\|EML\\|LMC\\|EED\\|EIN\\|EMN\\|QML\\|ERA\\))" field) (match-string 1 field)) but couldn't get customize to insert it correctly. This was the only way I could get customize to put in the code at that time. It seems that an extra set of parens are inserted by customize so the change to supercite was supposed to remove it. I didn't understand customize but could fix supercite, so I did. :-( I'm pretty sure I reported my problems to this list bug got no replies on my customize problem so I hunted down the quick fix myself. Stephen> Unless either Raymond or Barry has something to say about Stephen> it, I would say submit a patch to xemacs-patches revert Stephen> that section to the upstream original.
