view lisp/obsolete/options.el @ 98182:19ec1646fe6c

The Rmail/mbox merge has been abandoned in favor of a restart using the current rmail.el file. A comprehensive list of changes will be supplied when pmail.el is morphed back into rmail.el The current status is that pmail.el supports basic Rmail navigation (no summary support) and shows the current message in a special buffer using buffer-swap-text. No decoding is done yet. That is the next step.

;;; Commentary:

;; This file has been obsolete since Emacs 22.1.

;; This code provides functions to list and edit the values of all global
;; option variables known to loaded Emacs Lisp code.  There are two entry
;; points, `list-options' and `edit' options'.  The latter enters a major
;; mode specifically for editing option values.  Do `M-x describe-mode' in
;; that context for more details.

;; The customization buffer feature is intended to make this obsolete.

;;; Code:

;;;###autoload
(defun list-options ()
  "Display a list of Emacs user options, with values and documentation.
It is now better to use Customize instead."

  (with-output-to-temp-buffer "*List Options*"
