G'day. I'm running GNU Emacs v18.57.0 on an Apollo Network and I have couple of questions. I am in charge of looking after emacs here, but I'm not a real guru yet, so any help would be much appreciated. 1. On the dislay line, I want to see the date and time, so I put the following in my .emacs: ;; Display line (setq display-time-day-and-date t) (display-time) I get the date fine, but the time soon disappears to be replaced by "Wake up!^J". If I iconify emacs for any length of time, when I un-iconify emacs, there will be multiple "Wake up!^J"'s. The only place I could find this piece of text is in the wakeup program in the ~emacs/etc directory. Why does this happen? What can I do to fix it? 2. While I was at Uni (last year) I was using emacs and had pop-mail running. I got the source for this as well and tried putting it in, but it doesn't work. As far as I can tell, I've got everything set up the same as last year, but this time it just doesn't work. I'm not sure what version I've got but its about 4 years old.
