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.

Thanks for your help,
