to Eli Zaretskii:

If you read all your email in DOS Emacs, what do you use to send and receive
email?  I am not familiar with feedmail and Blat.

How much disk space is required to build Emacs 21.1 with DJGPP?  I might run
short.  DOS with FAT16 is very inefficient with disk space on large partitions.
I might be able to format a large partition for FAT32 with Linux mkdosfs, and
then DR-DOS 7.03 can't access FAT32.  For DOS, I have one primary partition
slightly < 128 MB and two logical partitions slightly < 256 MB on the new
computer, but I can add to that if necessary with an old hard drive in a mobile
rack.

Next time I find a Korean spam, or maybe there's one I missed in prescreening,
I'll take a look, just for curiosity, to see what it looks like in DOS Emacs.
My preference would be to keep the upper-ASCII characters as is, considering it
would be gibberish in any case, either in ISO-8859-1 or plain old IBM style, or
anything else non-Korean.
