I looked at the source (editmsg.c) to see if there were support for a suffix function specifier for gnu emacs ("-f turn-on-auto-fill"), but found there was no such support (yet). I have submitted a patch for elm 2.4. For the time being, we've had users modify their ~/.emacs files to do something like this: (defun text-and-auto-fill-mode () (text-mode) (turn-on-auto-fill)) (setq auto-mode-alist (append '(("/snd.[0-9]+$" . text-and-auto-fill-mode)) auto-mode-alist)) Or if you prefer, you could just use: (setq default-major-mode 'text-mode) (setq text-mode-hook '(lambda () (turn-on-auto-fill))) but that has larger ramifications outside of elm. I hope that it's of help. ---- Bob Froehlig internet: bobf@usc.edu University Computing Services University of Southern California
