"Don't use `M-x org-mode`" is the answer to that, I would have thought? Changing major mode in *any* buffer will kill the buffer's header- and footer-lines (along with most other...

I just hit this testing against the staging instance of our local Matrix server, which is running version 1.85.2. ```json {"errcode":"M_UNKNOWN", "error":"'from' parameter is invalid"} ``` The logged request from...

Aha, https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#get_matrixclientv3roomsroomidmessages says `from` became optional in version 1.3. I would guess that related changes meant that the token values that `from` would be sourced from were also not guaranteed...

I'm planning to spend some time on ement on Friday, so I'll take another look at this then and hopefully other things as well. I don't know how much I'll...
