Re: default mode for email drafts

[Richard M. Stallman]

    This means that mh-letter-mode was removed from auto-mode-alist only in the
    autoloaded form in mh-comp.el, but not from files.el.  So what about 
removing
    it from files.el too?

If this solution makes people happy, I don't object.

Another idea is to have a user option to specify the mode to
use for these files.  Running either MH-E or Gnus could set that option
if it is still nil, but users could also set it.
