================================================================
Dear Bug Team!

I recognize this could be a support question, but it may not, please
see Problem 1. I've also checked the xemacs archive from 2000 to now
but I couldn't find any reports/help on this.

I've been trying to extend the outline mode without any luck.
I've tried playing with outline-regexp but never got anywhere.

I use xemacs-21.5-b21 and I followed
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/OutlineMode
to set outline mode. I added the following to the end of my file:

Local Variables:
mode: outline
End:

Problem 1: If "mode: outline-minor" it appears that the outline mode
does not work. If "mode: outline" then everything is fine. That is to
say each "*" is recognized as a header and the colour of the fonts
changes accordingly.

Now I am trying to extend this for my cheat-sheets.
I would like to have something like this:

- This would be the description of what I want to do.
  The xemacs would recognize the '-' as a heading.
> This would be the command that I have to execute. The xemacs would
  recognize the '>' as a heading.

As an example:

- To launch an xterm with a geometry 120x40:
> xterm -geometry 120x40

Problem 2: If I add outline-regexp: "[*\f]+" after mode: ouline, the
outline mode works fine. But if I add any other pattern it seems the
outline mode does not take affect (the default behaviour is retained).
If "mode: outline-minor" then by chainging the pattern I also loose
the default behaviour.

Some examples of patterns that I used are:

outline-regexp: " *[A-Z ]+"
- from http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/OutlineMode
- and typing "A this didn't work, that is to say the color of
  the font did not change"

outline-regexp: " *\\([A-Za-z]\\|[IVXivx0-9]+\\)\\. *"
- from http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/OutlineMode
- and typing "I.  blah blah didn't work, that is to say the color of
  the font did not change"

outline-regexp: "[-\f]+"
- what I want to do and this didn't work either.

outline-regexp: "[>\f]+"
- what I want to do and this didn't work either.

Warning: 

Defaulting to the GNU Emacs-derived `sendmail.el' mail client. This facility,
while part of base XEmacs, is heinously underfeatured, and not going to get
better in the medium term. We include it so that bug reports work without
packages; we suggest that you choose and/or install one of the other mail
clients from packages if you're doing something other than M-x
report-xemacs-bug , or even if you are reporting bugs regularly.

To choose a package from those installed, click on "Options" ->
"Internet" -> "Compose Mail With ..." and decide on one from the
list. Gnus and VM are full-featured and have active user communities.

To disable this warning and stick with the old behavior, you can explicitly
initialize `mail-user-agent' to 'sendmail-user-agent .
