Re: [Q] (RFC) Framework to change dumped defaults on package presence; default mailer to VM if possible.

I'm with Mike on this one; none of the decent MUAs can possibly be folded into core; we just don't have the manpower to support them. s-u-a should just be made to get really cranky if there's any non-ASCII in the message anywhere. Your argument that the default sucks is correct that far, but we already know from experience that the suggested cure is worse than the disease. What might be reasonable is a small facility to search for a package that provides a virtual feature, in this case 'mua. Then the default mailer would be '(lambda () (interactive) (find-virtual-feature 'mua)). -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
