emacs/tramp/win/putty: one of the pieces involved kept removing Unix file permissions — solved!
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/changes.html : 0.63 (released 2013-08-06) : Unix: PSCP and PSFTP now preserve the Unix file permissions, on copies in both directions. For quite a while whenever I edited a remote executable file (using emacs/tramp/putty on Windows), the file lost its executable privilige bit. Looks like that issue got solved with 0.63. What a relief! The very arrogant…

emacs/tramp/win/putty: “Fatal: Received unexpected end-of-file from server”
Short story – what (released) versions to choose: The combination emacs/tramp/putty on Windows does not work with the released PuTTY-0.63. Use either PuTTY-0.62 or a PuTTY development snapshot, r10016 works for me. http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ – the latest released version was fine for me: 24.3.1 – I am always happy to get the very latest released version tramp –…

emacs/tramp/win/putty: “byte-code: couldn’t find a proper ‘ls’ command”
The PC at “my” desk at my customer’s site just got migrated from WinXP to win7, and I have to re-install and re-configure a couple of packages, and now I have trouble re-adopting tramp. Having to deal with tramp always brings Michael Albinus to my mind. I only met him during one week in 1988…

emacs/tramp/win/putty: “File exists, but cannot be read”
I had a look here and look there for hours, … – accidentally I looked into the *Messages* buffer and found, that some file access within c:windowstemp failed. The system variables TEMP and TMP are initialized with c:windowstemp, but I have no rights to look into c:windowstemp. Alright, system variables can get overridden. And they actually were…

if saving a file through “tramp” is not successful, ending “PLINK.EXE” may be a solution
PLINK.EXE is part of the PuTTY family, and it’s the utility tramp is communicating through. “Burying” the respective tramp buffer in emacs is another one. Update 2016-02-09: Actually burying the tramp buffer in question is my 1st approach on all platforms (Linux/Mac/Windows), whenever tramp communication seems to be stuck. Afterwards (with a “clean new start”) everything…

I would really love to get an Emacs diary entry created on outgoing e-mail
For incoming e-mail I already get a diary entry suggestions created by my “procmail log-file to diary” converter, but outgoing e-mail messages are also worth an entry in my diary. Yes, of course, I can always Cc or Bcc myself, but I would still have to … – alright, … – extended my .procmailrc, letting…

Emacs and VC AKA Version Control and an excessive list of handled backends
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Customizing-VC.html I am working for a customer on WinXP with GNU Emacs 24.2.1 through Tramp resp. putty plink (“pscp”) on AIX files. They are using CVS on AIX, but as I am actually the only Emacs user there, I don’t really bother going through the set-up for using Emacs with CVS on WinXP. Recently I…

how to let GNU Emacs “Untabify Upon Save”?
EmacsWiki: Untabify Upon Save There are colleagues, that don’t want to see tabs in scripts sources, that I edited. Apparently there isn’t a nice switch saying, that there shouldn’t be tabs in a certain file.
