Is there a save-outline-visibility excursion or so? 
  Hi List, I wonder if there is something like a 'save-excursion' for outline visibility around?

rmail encoding bug (?) on case-fold-search 
  There is some strange behaviour in rmail. I use GNU Emacs 23.4.1. With this in .emacs (set-default 'case-fold-search nil) ; nil is case sensitive in an rmail message, instead of the "text buttons" like this [1:multipart/alternative Hide] [1/1:text/plain Hide] [2:image/jpeg Show Save:20130519_152458.jpg (1MB)]... more »

outline-flag-region: Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size 
  Hi List, I implemented a new (optional and customizable) feature for 'outshine.el': behind every folded headline, a little 'cookie' can show the number of hidden lines till the next visible headline.

Switching to a buffer in .emacs does not work 
  In my .emacs I have: (gnus) (switch-to-buffer "*Group*") But when starting emacs Gnus is started, but the switch to the *Group* buffer does not happen. (That is why I initially thought Gnus was not started.) But when I give after the switch-to-buffer: M-x M-e I switch to the buffer. So the command is correct. Why does it not... more »

Filename auto complete doesn't work in tramp mode

Returning variable "references" under lexical binding 
  I recently tried writing my first non-toy code that employs lexical binding. It's a routine that sets up a series of idle timers, storing each successive timer object into the same lexical variable. I want my routine to return an object that can be used to cancel the most recently set timer. If I were writing this code in the days prior... more »
