Does anyone know of an option in Elm which allows you, when saving files in an existing folder, not to type the whole foldername, but only the first few (significant) characters and then completes the filename by pressing <ESC> (or another key)? (This much resembles like the 'set filec' feature in the c-shell). Second question: using the attribution option in .elm/elmrc, you can a string containing the authors' name of the message you're replying to, print before the included text. Thus something like: [Rik Janssen writes:] > .....(text of message to which is replied).... > It would be nice if I also can refer to the subject of the message, and the date it was written. Does anyone know if this is possible, or if it can be implemented? Thanks a lot, Rik Janssen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rik Janssen Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology janssen@cse.ogi.edu Department of Computer Science and Engineering 19600 N.W.

We're currently discussing this very issue in the development group. It will not arrive before elm 2.4, which is somewhere between nine and fifteen months away.
