I realize that I wasn't entirely clear in my previous message. The behavior I am trying to fix with my suggestion is this: If I type C-u M-x rmail, it prompts for an RMAIL file in the directory of the current buffer. Since all of my mail folders are in ~/Mail, I almost always have to type the full pathname of the folder I want (because I rarely do C-u M-x rmail when I'm already in a mail folder), which defeats the purpose of presenting a default at all. My suggestion would cause rmail always to provide a reasonable default in response to C-u M-x rmail, regardless of what buffer I am currently in. -- Barr3y Jaspan, bjaspan@mit.edu
