Subject: pgnus v0.99 message-forwarding gripes
Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1999 19:06:19 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <19991201030619.7489.qmail@web2103.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)

With Matt Pharr's addition of `message-forward-as-mime', pgnus finally
has the ability to forward messages *without* MIME (hooray!).
However, why does it have to be a mutually exclusive operation?  It
would be nice to be able to either forward a message MIME or non-MIME
on the fly.  Unless I'm mistaken, you can currently only go back and
forth by changing the value of `message-forward-as-mime' in .gnus?
This is awkward.  I think there should be 2 separate keystrokes for
this; one to forward a message as MIME and a second to forward a
message as non-MIME.

Also, current non-MIME forwarding simply inserts the message contents
into the buffer without any header or footer.  In days of old, Gnus
added such lines to "encapsulate" the forwarded text.  

------- Forwarded Message

[...]

------- End of Forwarded Message
 
Most other News and Mail programs do something similar.  I think
re-introducing this behavior into non-MIME message forwarding is the
right thing to do.
