I am using a special mode for handling e-mail called post.el. In
post.el there are different faces depending on the background being
'light' or 'dark'. When I launch emacs -nw from within an xterm with
a white background, emacs uses the face for a dark background.
How does emacs determine what the background is?
When I use -rv for the xterm, emacs still thinks the background is
dark.
On a sort of related note, is there a way to tell how emacs was
launched from the command line? I'd like to modify my .emacs to
change settings depending on whether I used emacs -nw or not.
Thanks.
