The documentation describes an ``escape'' character syntax, which strips the subsequent character of special syntactic significance. Problem is, one would like an escaped character to be treated as an ordinary ``word'' character, so that fill commands do not wreck havoc. E.g., ``A\ B'' should be treated as a single word if ``\'' is an escape character. Unfortunately, this appears not to be the case. I suspect it's a judgment call whether this should be the definition of standard escape, but some ``escape-to-word-character'' syntax is merited.

When running in a subshell (M-x shell), and creating or receiving a mail message using mailx, I am unable to get an eof to the system. I have tried C-c C-d and M-x shell-send-eof and neither has the desired effect. The only thing I seem to be able to do at this point is C-c C-c to get out of mail. In addition, I do not get the typical "Subject:" prompt after entering mailx. (I am not using the built-in mail support because I have not been able to figure out how to get it to store my copies in the fashion that I am accustomed to). Any ideas?
