General

• How do I deal with carriage returns?
  Use C-Q C-J (control-Q control-J) each time you want to include a carriage return, say in a query-replace or a replace string.
  e.g. to double-space everything:
  

  M-x replace-string RET C-Q C-J RET C-Q C-J C-Q C-J RET

• How do I turn off ^Ms I sometimes get in a shell?
  Put into your .emacs file:
  (setq system-uses-terminfo nil)

• How do I turn off control-Z
  I find emacs' control-Z behavior really annoying (either closing the window in X, or suspending the process in a terminal). To turn this misfeature off, add this to your .emacs:
  (global-set-key "C-Z" nil)

• Making adp's turn on tcl-mode
  Add this to your .emacs:
  

  (setq auto-mode-alist
    (append '(("\.adp$"  . tcl-mode)
             ) auto-mode-alist))
  

• Showing the clock in emacs
  M-X display-time-mode

• Toggling read-only mode in a buffer
  C-X C-Q

RMAIL

• Getting RMAIL to read a Qmail Mailbox file
  Add this to your .emacs:
  (setq rmail-primary-inbox-list (list "/home/markd/Mailbox"))

• How do I bcc: myself on everything I mail out?
  Add this to your .emacs:
  (setq mail-self-blind 1)
