One of our epoch users sent me this suggestion:

----------------

From: Ken Raeburn <Raeburn@MIT.EDU>
To: jfc@MIT.EDU
Subject: is there a place for epoch suggestions?

I'd like to have (or be able to have) a different buffer selection
order for other-buffer for each screen.  I've got a couple of modes I
like to put up new screens for (e.g., rmail), but if I do something in
one of those screens that selects buffers, and then switch to another
window and (somehow) bury the current buffer, I get the buffer that's
showing in the other screen, which I don't want.  (I don't know if the
fact that I've usually iconified the other (special-mode) screen
affects things at all.)

In general, buffers currently displayed on other screens should
probably be near the end of the buffer list, not the start.  If I've
got it in another screen, it's because I want it there and not in the
screen I'm currently working in.
