Running recent emacs-24 on Debian Linux I don't often use emacs -nw any more and just noticed today that I have some kind of charset or LANG setting problem that is causing unusual characters to be printed to my files when using the ALT key for combos like M-x. (I hope these characters are reproduced in this post) `M-x' produces 'ø' `M-Shift + !' produces '¡' `M-shift + : produces 'º' What kind of setting is likely to be causing this? ------- --------- ---=--- --------- -------- The above problem was uncovered today because I wanted to use emacs -nw. But also I wanted to make emacs start in message mode by passing what ever is necessary to do that from the command line. emacs -nw -f message-mode file does not set message-mode although if I insert text-mode rather than message-mode it will start in text-mode. How can I cause emacs -nw to start in message-mode from the command line. One further question is how to pass elisp on the command line to be processed by emacs as it starts. emacs -nw <Syntax for passing elisp> file
