My xmh process decided at some point that it wanted to rescan `inbox'; the
only thing I had done shortly prior to that was start to compose a message.
Now, I've just started writing this one, and it decided to rescan `drafts'.
There are several problems with this:
* When it did so, it dropped a few keystrokes I had typed into this
editor window. (The "pr" in "prior" didn't come through the first
time.)
* Since I have over 300 messages in `inbox', the rescanning itself is
frustrating.
* After it rescans `inbox', it seems to lose track of what my current
message is, and redisplays the top of the TOC window.
I don't particularly care for the new interface; it requires pulling down a
menu and selecting an item for it every time I want to do a "delete" or "view
next"; with the old interface it was easier.
Hitting M-q after a paragraph (well, I'm doing it after the last paragraph of
the message) seems to cause the paragraph to be ended with two spaces, with
the cursor between them. (M-> then moves the cursor forward one character;
the line is unterminated.)
