In GNU Emacs 19.27.1 (sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3) of Mon Sep 19 1994 on wsrcc.com
I am running a hook in the display-time-filter that essentially does
the following:
(defun display-time-filter ()
...
(save-excursion (vm)) ;; vm is Kyle's mail reader
;; vm-version: 5.72 (beta)
...)
First of all, the save-excursion fails. The selected and displayed
buffer before the call to vm is not retained. Insteav vm's INBOX is
displayed.
Secondly the first char typed will go to the old buffer. Subsequent
chars will go to the incorrectly displayed and selected vm INBOX
buffer.
