Package: emacs21 Version: 21.2-6 Severity: normal Describing the problem at [EMAIL PROTECTED], Kai Großjohann and Stefan Monnier suggested me to fill a bug. They also helped me to describe it:
I put "export CVS_RSH=ssh" into the file ~/.foo. Then I log in via kdm/gdm/xdm and start a shell. Typing "echo $CVS_RSH" into that shell gives me ssh. Good. I invoke Emacs from that shell. Typing M-: (getenv "CVS_RSH") RET into that Emacs gives me ssh. Good. I invoke Emacs from the menu. Now typing M-: (getenv "CVS_RSH") RET gives me nil. Bad.
