Getting to know Emacs 22

(tags emacs, editor, upgrade)

I forgot to mention that the best part about Emacs 22 at least for me now is M-x longlines-mode. Finally! I can use Emacs as a replacement for Notepad without having to think about the hard newlines from using M-x text-mode and M-x auto-fill-mode. Now if only it could automatically sense the width of the screen and adjust the fill column automatically.

I was totally surprised when I intended to view a file. I drag-and-dropped a file from the Windows Explorer to the Dired window and Emacs/Meadow copied the file to directory shown! When did this change of functionality occur?

My old grep and grep-find commands don't work no more (something about not accepting cons lists of (string-command . int-position). I'm going to have to look at M-x rgrep for the same results?

One thing that worries me is that Emacs 22 now has more network APIs. For example, emacs server is now implemented from within Emacs and not as a separate program. Could this make Emacs more susceptible to network attacks?
