I'm still hoping someone can comment on what emacs I should install to get the normal robust behavior I've come to expect from emacses. Unrelated issue: Is there a way to get related messages posted properly as followons in the mailing list archives without subscribing to the mailing list? I assume it's by replying to actual email from the mailing list that messages are posted as replies rather than new threads.
