In my .emacs I have the line (setq mail-archive-file-name "/tlsuna7/duursma/OMAIL") This, of course, causes outgoing mail to go to the OMAIL file. Sometimes I want to review mail I have sent, so I use "i" (rmail-input) to read this file. Then, when I leave this buffer around, I have trouble sending mail; since the OMAIL buffer is write protected (the OMAIL file itself was), gnuemacs now complains that it can't append the message to it. Ok, I can go to the OMAIL buffer and make it writeable (C-X C-Q), but then the mail ends up in strange places, not always at the end of the OMAIL file. Is there another solution besides just killing the OMAIL buffer? Ron Duursma Tartan, Inc.
