I would like for xmh to use an emacs window as the editor when composing, replying, or performing other editing on messages. Can this be done? How? Thanks, (in advance)

About two weeks ago, I asked how to use an emacs window as the editor when composing replying, or performing other editing on messages with xmh. Unfortunately, I inadvertantly posted this message as root, and all of the replies got sent to root on a different machine. (Not the one that I'm the sysop for...) In any case, I got about 15 replies from people, all asking "me too" for any answers I recieved! However, nobody replied with the solution to my question. Thus, if anybody out there DOES know how to make xmh use emacs as its editor, or has modified xmh to do so, I (and a bunch of others) would be very happy if we could find out too...

The short answer is that, unfortunately, you can't do it. The code simply doesn't support it. An adventurous hacker would probably not find it too difficult, however. Perhaps this should be a FAQ? Win Treese Cambridge Research Lab treese@crl.dec.com Digital Equipment Corp.
