Hey, Thomas. I think these are all totally reasonable emacs improvements, and I think we should merge them all. I particularly like this feature to launch compose buffers in new frames. Thanks so much for figuring it out. I had hacked up something for myself but your solution is *much* more elegant and Just Works. Thanks! However, I find the customization variable a bit clunky. Since I wasn't presented with any options in the customization, I didn't know what to put in. I copy and pasted "switch-to-buffer-other-frame" into the customization field but that didn't work since I didn't protect the function name. Finally I got it to work by putting in "'switch-to-buffer-other-frame" (with the initial "'"). So I definitely love this feature, but can we make the customization work better so that it's easier for the user to figure out how to set it? jamie.
