saludos,
soooo... I've just noticed that when I start xemacs from within mutt,
it dumps me in Funjdamental mode, not mail-mode. I wonder if that's
the reason the (mail-text) feature isn't working (well, it wouldn't,
would it? as Rodrigo pointed out). so maybe if I can just get xeamcs
to start up in mail-mode from mutt, the whole thing will work out
nicely.
(also, in the interim I've found the mutt-mode, downloaded and
installed it; but I can't seem to invoke it, so I'm not sure if I've
done it properly; I've commented it out).
Anyway, here's my init.el as it stands. anything obviously wrong with
it?
;; (load "/home/matt/.xemacs/mutt")
(setq default-major-mode 'text-mode)
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
;; (add-hook 'mail-mode-hook 'mail-text)
(gnuserv-start)
;; associating mutt with one or another mode
;; (or (assoc "mutt-" auto-mode-alist)
;; (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("mutt-" . mutt-mode) auto-mode-alist)))
(or (assoc "mutt-" auto-mode-alist)
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("mutt-" . mail-mode) auto-mode-alist)))
(add-hook 'mail-mode-hook 'axels-mail-mode-hook)
;; modified mail mode from axel -- looks nice
(defun axels-mail-mode-hook ()
(turn-on-auto-fill) ;;; Auto-Fill is necessary for mails
(turn-on-font-lock) ;;; Font-Lock is always cool *g*
(mail-text) ;;; Jumps to the beginning of the mail text
)
----------------------------
I don't know the language but it looks ok to me :-)
I notice that even in fundamental, I'm not being put into fill mode.
Perhaps this file isn't beingread at all??? and yet I've been able to
mess with the colors a bit, so I odn't think that's the problem.
anyway, I'll keepworking -- suggestions welcome! -- as are snips from
anyone else's init.el!
thx,
matt
