Hi all,
When I read an email in WL, I have at least three buffers open: Folder,
Summary, and the buffer that contains the message. But when I do C-x C-b,
only Folder and Summary are listed. The message itself is in a hidden
buffer whose name is something like _*WL:Message*-281649 (where the _ is
space).
I don't see the point of this behavior. In fact, I often work with multiple
messages, and I want them to be listed and available for buffer switching.
Ideally, the message buffer should be called something like Message: <subject>.
I don't see why this should cause any problems -- in the worst case, you
would have to close manually the buffer of a message that has been deleted
in the Summary buffer.
Is there a good reason for making the message buffer hidden? Is there a way
to set the name of the message buffer to something that Emacs doesn't hide?
Even better, can the buffer name be constructed from, e.g., the subject?
Cheers,
Greg
