You only need to install flim-xemacs if you want to use
w3m-el or wl (another mua) inside xemacs. (mew-xemacs
provides yet another elisp mua btw.)
Some of tm's mime-handling capability is provided by a file
mel.el. It
turns out that there are *two such files* in the xemacs system:
/usr/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/flim/mel.el
/usr/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/tm/mel.el
They are not functionally identical. Package-loading finds & loads
the first. It blows up. The second works.
Maybe something could be done to split the degeneracy of the
filenames? As others hinted tm should probably go though to
be honest.
I guess it would be better to report problems with Red Hat's
xemacs package to our bugzilla <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/>
first, unless one is pretty sure it is an
upstream bug.
Anyway suggestions for improving RHL xemacs packaging are
always welcome.
