One last thing (famous last words),
the only thing about my mail /xemacs setup that currently still
annoys me the littlest bit is, that using xemacs as my default editor
in mutt, I can't get emacs to drop the cursor down below the message
headings.
to elaborate:
in both mail-mode and the less well-distributed but super-excellent
post-mode (mostly designed for use with mutt) there are commands
designed to move the cursor to the first empty line in a message
buffer. I have mode-hooks callingthese funcitons when either mode is
loaded. But, while these hooks worked fine in FSF Emacs, I can't get
them to work in xemacs on initial loading of a message buffer (if I
switch modes in mid-composition, the movement *will* take place!
Also, I should note that I've been haivng this problem when running
xemacs iwth the -nw switch -- haven't tested it much in other modes).
Someone on the mutt list suggested that the hook might be executed
before the file is actually read into the buffer. Does that sound
plausible? Is there a way to fix it?
thanks again!

Try wrapping the functions in code to print a progress message (eg,
`(message "Moving cursor to first line of text")') to find out if te
hook is actually being called.

Seems unlikely. Emacs doesn't run these hooks itself; that is done by
the mode-switch function, which is presumably called by the posting
function, which probably is also provided by post-mode or sendmail.el.
Matt> Is there a way to fix it?
Show us the relevant code. post-mode isn't distributed with XEmacs,
so I don't see how it would be related to anything XEmacs is doing.
There might be some GNU-specific thing we haven't implemented or
synched yet, but without looking at the code I can't say.

New subject: gaah! sorry about the name spoofing

wrong key in mutt (e for edit insted of L for list reply!)
never done that before, sorry again!

Have you tried mail-setup-hook and message-setup-hook?

For starrters: what are their names?

I have now...
I posted the relevant parts of my init.el in a previous post, so I
won't repost all of it here, but I added these lines with no change in
behaviour:
;; mail-text and other movements seem not to work under Xemacs
(add-hook 'mail-mode-hook 'mail-text)
(add-hook 'mail-setup-hook 'mail-text)
(add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'mail-text)
(add-hook 'post-mode-hook 'post-goto-body)
To reiterate this wierd effect: the problem only manifests when the
buffer first loads, and the effect is the same whether mail-mode or
post-mode is used. If I switch the mode once the buffer's loaded,
then xemacs acts as I want it to, namely, it moves the cursor to the
first line of the actual message.

Which file are you reading in?
Mutt sends a message template to the emacs buffer, consisting of a few
message headers and the message you're replying to, if any. I'm not
exactly sure how it works.
thx as always,
