That's brilliant, but this is *not* what I want!!!!

I doubt it, because the system will be doing even more things I don't want 
it ti!

I don't think it's a file associations issue because, as far as I know, 
that's not how the SendTo menu works.

As I said earlier, I don't want to appear unappreciative, but anything 
connected with Gnuserv/Gnuclient is totally irrelelevant to the issue I'm 
trying to sort out because:

1) I don't have it installed
2) I don't want to install it (especially now I've seen messages on the 
newsgroup from people having problems using Emacs 21.2 *with* it 
installed)!
