+Small but important fixes in existing features:
+
 * Bring back the feature of showing the part of the buffer that is a problem
   for the use of the preferred coding systems.
 
+* Make compile.el record the markers that point to error loci
+  on text properties in the error message lines.
+
+Important features:
+
 * Provide user-friendly ways to list all available font families,
   display a font as a sample, etc.
 
-* Have a command suggestion help system that recognizes patterns
-  of commands which could be replaced with a simpler common command.
-  It should not make more than one suggestion per 10 minutes.
-
 * Program Enriched mode to read and save in RTF.  [Is there actually a
   decent single definition of RTF?]
 
+* Implement something better than the current Refill mode.  This
+  probably needs some primitive support.
+
+* Implement primitive and higher-level functions to allow filling
+  properly with variable-pitch faces.
+
+* Implement a smoother vertical scroll facility.
+
 * Implement other text formatting properties.
 ** Footnotes that can appear either in place or at the end of the page.
 ** text property that says "don't break line in middle of this".

+* Make movemail work with IMAP.

   Love started on this.]
