Packaging indian fonts used by Emacs?

[Simon Josefsson]

On  there is a link to a
X11 font package 
that was easy to install.  However, it would be nice to have these
packaged in Debian.  How would one go about requesting a new package?

Thanks.

I just discovered the license might be unclear... if someone is
interested in packaging this, getting in touch with the CDAC people
might be worthwhile, although I understand there already is one such
discussion in process (ask Kenichi Handa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>).

You mention license issues, but for future reference:  install the
package `debian-el' and from Emacs do:

 M-x debian-bug-request-for-package

The command `M-x debian-bug' is also generally useful.

Customizing wanderlust reply header

[csj]

When I invoke (meta-X) wl-summary-reply-with-citation, I get the
following reply header:

  At Wed, 12 Nov 2003 10:57:52 +0900,
  somebody wrote:

I think this reads better as:

  On Wed, 12 Nov 2003 at 10:57:52 +0900,

or perhaps even a more verbose:

  On Wednesday, November 12, 2003 at 10:57:52 +0900,

I grep'ped for the elisp that handles the reply header to the
function "wl-default-draft-cite" in the file
"wl-2.10.1/wl/wl-draft.el".  By changing line 704:

  (setq cite-title (format "At %s,\n%s wrote:"

I now get when I reply:

  On Wed, 12 Nov 2003 10:57:52 +0900,

Is there a better way to customize the wanderlust reply header
than hacking the .el file?

I prefer no dates at all, like the above, and have not added them
to MH-E.

I don't use wl, but if that's where the string is inserted it doesn't
look customizable to me.

Ask upstream to create a defcustom for it?

(I might add one for MH-E, now that the subject has come up.)
