*** CalcTeX brings up compilation buffer
With my [[*Calc][Calc]] hook, the first call of =M-x calc= brings up a compilation buffer
from CalcTeX. I'm guessing this is from the compilation of the preamble / ~.fmt~ file.
*** Unread emails doesn't work across Emacs instances
It would be nice if it did, so that I could have the Emacs-daemon hold the
active mu4e session, but still get that information. In this case I'd want to
change the action to open the Emacs daemon, but it should be possible.
This would probably involve hooking into the daemon's modeline update function
to write to a temporary file, and having a file watcher started in other Emacs
instances, in a similar manner to [[*Rebuild mail index while using mu4e][Rebuild mail index while using mu4e]].

Mu4e's implementation of string truncation uses three full stops ~...~ instead of
ellipses ~…~. This wastes two charachters, which we can easily address with a bit of advice.
Unfortunately, I have yet to work out how to do this (see [[github:djcb/mu/issues/1707][djcb/mu#1707]]).
Due to evil, none of the marking commands work when making a visual selection in
the headers view of mu4e. Without overriding any evil commands we may actually
want to use in and evil selection, this can be easily fixed.
