Re: Trouble with mail_mode (email.sl et al.)

[Swithun Crowe <swithun@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

JW That seems to have something to do with the file name.  The files I'm 
JW using have got an .txt extension, and in this case, text mode is 
JW automatically selected instead of mail mode.  The code responsible for 
JW selecting the proper mode in site.sl seems quite complicated to me.  
JW Is there an easy way to override this mode selection for certain files?

There are a couple of things I can think of:

1. put '-*- mail -*-' at the top of files that you want opened with 
mail_mode

2. create a new extension ('.email' for example) and add this to site.sl

In site.sl, there should be 2 long lines. One has a list of extensions, 
and the other has a corresponding list of modes. Add 'email' (or whatever 
extension you choose) to the list of extensions, and add 'mail' to the 
list of modes.

If a file site.slc exists, then you may need to byte compile your new 
site.sl.

There are probably some other ways of achieving what you want, given the 
flexibility of jed.
