 I think that I'm in over my head here. The documentation is "runs mail
reader" or words to that effect...

I actually don't use XEmacs, but rather Emacs (under X), if that makes
any difference.
Emacs doesn't seem to have VM, only RMail v5.
XEmacs is actually complaining about the contents of my .emacs file, by
the looks of things.

When it comes to customising XEmacs, I'm lost. I can select the
customize->applications->mail bit OK, but then my brain starts to hurt.

I'm rapidly tiring of Netscape however :-(

Has anyone noticed my unhealthy interest in Emacs?

Baz.
