I am currently running gnuemacs on a Sun 3 using OS 3.5. Since not all the people on my system use emacs, we have installed mh-6.6 to handle mail. The problem is that when my .mh_profile file is a follows: Path: Mail Editor: gnuemacs Prompter-Next: gnuemacs Folder-Protect: 700 Msg-Protect: 600 Comp: -form Mail.skel Compac: -form Action.skel Dist: -annotate -inplace Forw: -annotate -inplace -format -form Forw.skel Repl: -annotate -inplace -nocc cc -nocc me -fcc ORIGINALS -filter Reply_Filter the program "comp" hangs. I have done a "ps" and it shows: comp gnuemacs /home/wjj/Mail/draft but nothig happens. All our other editors (vi, Unipress emacs, textedit) work fine with comp. Could you tell me how to get guemacs to work with mh also? I know that emacs has rmail, but I wanted to understand why I could not get mh and gnuemacs to work. Thanks, Warren Jasper wjj@sun-valley.stanford.edu

heya, gnuemacs also has mh-rmail which is the Right Way to use gnuemacs and mh. it's hot. try mh-rmail and then type "C-h m" to see what commands you have available. then type "s" to send a letter and then type "C-h m" again to see what commands you have available while editing a letter (including "C-c C-q" to quit editing that letter). that should provide you with enough documentation but you can find out more by looking at the sources (...gnuemacs/lisp/mh-e.el). by the way, in your example, you set the editor to be "gnuemacs." it is preferable (read mega-faster) to set it to emacsclient and run "M-x server-start" within gnuemacs. try that sometime, run server-start, and then run emacsclient directly from the shell. enjoy! --bw
