this makes little sense, as the change *TO* exmh_lassign was 
made in 2010 precisely to avoid conflicts with tcl8.5's lassign, which 
has a different argument order and therefore doesn't work. 

(exmh's exmh_lassign wants (varnames,values), tcl8.5's lassign wants
(values,varnames).)

wait, what?  Pretty much all releases of exmh were buggy under tcl8.5:

cvs repository 08/26/2010 valdis.kletnieks <at> vt.edu
  Finally found the cause of the exmh Log window breaking - we
  carry our own lassign that had the parameters in opposite order
  to what base 8.5 code expects, specifically breaking 'clock format'
  and who knows what else. So rename our lassign to exmh_lassign.
  lib/html.tcl, lib/html_formtag.tcl, lib/html_get_http.tcl,
  lib/html_links.tcl lib/msgShow.tcl, lib/utils.tcl

(Yes, it's an ugly fix, but the only realistic choice unless we insist on tcl
8.5 or later.  You want tcl 8.4 to work too, have to do it this way).

What "troubles" were you seeing? This sounds suspiciously like
untarring a 2.8 tarball over a 2.7.2 tree and failing to regenerate
the tclIndex file, which will result in it failing to find exmh_lassign and
throwing an error....

Re: Feedback about exmh new version 2.8.0

Hello,

	I'll try to provide Brent and other people with the "tcl
	stack errors" I've noticed with the exmh_lassign usage.

	I've replaced it with lassign but afaik I don't think it
	was necessary to rebuild any kind of index like this :

>Then, put the attached file in your ~/.tk/exmh/ directory and make the 
>index:

	I did this index thing when I wanted to add extra buttons
	( like FetchMail or FetchNotes, for example ).

	What I've also noticed is that the automatic spell checker
	wasn't working as it should : I had to troubles with it
	earlier ! What about other users out there ???

	Thanks for any help, and with best regards.
