Why not just also have the Bkmrk_Last_Position set in the bkmrk_set_mark()
function, like this?

  define bkmrk_set_mark ()
  {
     bkmrk_get_or_set_mark (0);
     Bkmrk_Last_Position = create_user_mark ();
  }

As it is now, you have to visit a bookmark with the bkmrk_goto_mark()
function before you may use the space. With the change above, you can set a
bookmark, jump to another buffer and then immediately jump to and fro with
the <key-combo> + <space>

Would there be any adverse effects to this?

PS: I am constantly getting these messages from the mailing list manager:


    Hi, this is the Mlmmj program managing the <jed-users@xxxxxxxxxxx> mailing
    list.

    Some messages to you could not be delivered. If you're seeing this
    message it means things are back to normal, and it's merely for your
    information.

    Here is the list of the bounced messages:

With what I know, there are no problems at my mail provider. If it is
something at my end, is there some log file from the Mlmmj program,
detailing the problem, that I might see?
