Hello. I'm Joe Garbarino from ERIM in Ann Arbor, Mi. First, let me compliment you on your very nice editor. We are using it extensively on both our Unix and VAX/VMS computers. Our users are very pleased with the fact the they can move between systems and use the same editor, and a powerful one at that! We are having a couple small problems that I haven't been able to resolve. I'm not sure they are bugs, but I don't know who else to ask. The first concerns users on text terminals and the wall command. If a wall broadcast is received by a user working on a text terminal, emacs refuses any more input, including the C-g C-g sequence. The only way I have found of recovering is killing the emacs process. I don't really know if this is an emacs problem, but I was wondering if you had seen this sort of thing and knew of a solution. The second problem is with the protection that the RMAIL file gets. We like to allow read access to all files, but when the RMAIL file gets created, it gets the default protection, instead of the protection read-write for owner and no access otherwise. I was just wondering if this is the desired effect, and if not, what to do to fix it. I have changed the default umask to 77 in the interim. Thanks again for the great editor! Joe Garbarino ERIM P.O.
