scroll-conservatively & others ... 24 years, 6 months

Gerald Gutierrez

Hi all. I'm trying to make Emacs scroll one line at a time, so I've set Emacs accordingly: (custom-set-variables '(scroll-conservatively 1) ... I've also tried values 2 and 3 and restarted XEmacs every time. It doesn't seem to make any difference .. I still scroll half a screen at a time. Am I missing something? While I'm asking things .. I'm one of those people who like to keep local copies of install packages. To that end I downloaded a bunch of XEmacs packages before I installed them off the local disk. After I installed the packages, I noticed that the original files have gone! Is this intended behaviour? How do I stop XEmacs from doing this? Also, is there an easy way to allow me to use a "M-x command" to execute a script? I want to be able to do something like "M-x getmail" and have it call my script file to suck email off my POP3 server (which does filtering and some processing too, which is why it's a script). Preferably it'll be asynchronous, like the compile buffer ... I know this must be documented somewhere. If someone can point me in the right direction I'll appreciate it. Thanks for any help.

"Unknown host" ?! 24 years, 6 months

Gerald Gutierrez

Hi all. I'm running into the most incredibly annoying problem I've ever encountered (for the past week at least). I connect to the Internet via a modem and am dynamically assigned IP addresses by my ISP. Naturally, then, I use their SMTP server for sending mail. Every now and then when I try to send mail using VM, Emacs will pause for half a minute and then come back saying that my SMTP server's hostname is an unknown host. I know it's not because I've used it for years. Occasionally, GNUS does something similar as well, so I don't think it's a VM problem either. What's going on here? I compiled my own XEmacs on Mandrake 6.1, so I don't think there's a library problem. I've even tried to put in the IP address of the SMTP server in /etc/hosts, so I don't think it's any kind of DNS issue. Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I'd appreciate any help anyone can give. My email setup, for reference: ;; ;; Mail ;; (setq user-full-name "Gerald Gutierrez") (setq user-mail-address "gutier(a)intergate.bc.ca") (setq mail-self-blind t) ;; SMTPMAIL (setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) (setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.intergate.bc.ca") (setq smtpmail-smtp-service "smtp") (setq smtpmail-local-domain nil) (setq smtpmail-code-conv-from nil) (autoload 'smtpmail-send-it "smtpmail") ;; VM (autoload 'vm "vm" nil t) (autoload 'vm-mail "vm" nil t) (setq vm-use-toolbar nil) (setq vm-mutable-windows t) (setq vm-mutable-frames nil) (setq vm-primary-inbox "~/d/vmmail/inbox") (setq vm-crash-box-suffix ".crash") (setq vm-spool-file-suffixes (list ".spool")) (setq vm-folder-directory "~/d/vmmail/") (setq vm-spool-files (list (list "~/d/vmmail/inbox" "~/d/vmmail/inbox.spool" "~/d/vmmail/inbox.crash") ))

Re: Patches Applied for 21.1.8 24 years, 6 months

I found another old one that never made it into 21.1: http://www.xemacs.org/list-archives/xemacs-patches/9904/msg00039.html I think this is safe enough to go into 21.1 and I've seen a couple of crashes in command_builder_operate_menu_accelerator with 21.1.x, therefore it's probably a good idea to put this in.

Yes. And W.Perry tried it on their in-house software. Maybe they can be asked for help. (Note that this is for glibc 2.1 and up). At least we don't suffer from the "GDB development process too slow for Linux" aka "Linux changing its signal handler trampoline too often" aka "short backtrace" problem. Jan
