Subject: Remove howm-mode again
X-Git-Url: https://git.earman.xyz/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5ef788f3c073ef03ed9af7277270d3b64e3898c0;p=emacsinit.git

Remove howm-mode again

I like the idea, but it just doesn't do everything I want, where org does.
Still a useful thing to use every now and again, to test the org-bloat against
a more minimal setup.
