[net.emacs] Lisp Indent and Mail in CCA EMACS

z (03/26/83)

CCA EMACS has been modified so that any one of three separate indenting
styles can be chosen for Lisp mode, depending on the setting of the
variable Lisp Indent.  A Tab at the beginning of a line will always
indent using a narrow style of indentation if the variable Lisp Indent
is -1; it will indent with a wide style for the first level and with a
narrow style thereafter if Lisp Indent is zero (the default); and it
will always indent with a wide style of indentation if Lisp Indent is 1.
Furthermore, a Tab given anywhere else in the line will now line up with
the next field in the previous line.

It is now possible to send arbitrary regions of text as mail.  The old
^R Mail Buffer command has been replaced with a completely new command
^R Mail Region, which, like the old command, may be invoked with C-X M.
You will be prompted for the To, Cc, and Subject fields; the Cc and
Subject fields may be left blank if desired.  A tilde in the first
column of any line in your region will activate the appropriate tilde
escape in mail; this allows you to do things such as include Bcc fields
in your messages.  Any error messages produced by the mail program will
be displayed.
