I run mwm by default.
1. When I invoke xmh with a specific -geometry, error responses, such as
a 'no mail to incorporate' condition, are reported in a dialog box that's the
full size of the xmh window (huge and unwieldly). If I invoke xmh w/o a
-geometry flag, the dialog boxes on such error conditions are of manageable
size.
2. xmh seems to have good and bad emacs bindings. Nice: automatic word
wrap during composition. Bad: the traditional emacs <ctrl>-<space> for mark
set, <ctrl>-w for mark end/removal, and <ctrl>-y for insert --- don't work
properly.
