For those interested in GNU EMACS, the version I make available on
ADDVAX.LLNL.GOV via anonymous ftp has just been upgraded to better support
DIRED and the C-x C-d (list-directory) functions in that they don't hang on
bad directory specs anymore. It has also be enhanced to support both SENDMAIL
and RMAIL. All these changes require the new VMSFNS.C, so a re-compile,
re-link, and re-build is necessary (along with the normal byte-compiling of
the new .EL files)!

Please be aware that this software has only been tested by myself and could
result in lost e-mail. For those (smart) people who don't trust things, you
can modify the (new) file [EMACS.ETC}VMSMAIL2MBOX.COM and remove the
DELETE/ALL command just below the EXTR/ALL command in the list of MAIL
commands. You will, of course, then have to manually delete those messages
from your MAIL folder.

Also, the SENDMAIL function doesn't support the CC: field as I have not yet
been able to find a reasonable way to make this work since DCL doesn't support
any way to set the CC field from the command line, and CC prompting by MAIL
may or may not be enabled. But, the use of aliases in a SYS$LOGIN:.MAILRC file
does work.
