ST> Of course we expect that you will consider any functionality that ST> MH-E + tm supports but MH-E 8 does not to be a serious matter, Ah, good point. I'll make a pass through tm's Info pages prior to committing anything, to see if there are any obvious gaps. ST> In practice, I doubt this implies burden on either side. Agreed.

Comments and discussion are welcome. I like having a transition period. 6-12 months seems reasonable. When something is deprecated in Solaris, we sometimes add a message at startup, warning that the program (or whatever) may go away in the future. (The lawyers get cranky if we say it "will" go away.) So it might be helpful for tm to issue a warning when it's loaded, perhaps with a variable that lets the user turn the warning off ("yes I know you're going away, stop reminding me"). mike _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
