message, auto-fill-mode and ^something: in the body

message, auto-fill-mode and ^something: in the body

[Pavel Janík ml.]

Hi,

I have auto-fill-mode turned on in message buffers. It works correctly.

However if I wrote the line which contains ':' after the word on the
beginning of the line, it is highlighted as a header and the line is not
filled-in as you can see here:

This_is_not_header: and this text is not filled-in but it should be because I have auto-fill-mode turned on by default.

Probably it's a feature.  You may invalidate it at your own risk
as such as follows:

M-x eval-expression
Eval: (setq auto-fill-inhibit-regexp nil)

Use with caution when you edit the header fields.

See the buffer-local value of `auto-fill-inhibit-regexp'.  I think
this is set to prevent auto-filling in headers.  Presumably
`auto-fill-function' could be redefined to be more clever about this,
but it's probably not worth it to save the occasional M-q.

What is M-q?  C-h k M-q shows nothing in my xemacs in auto-fill-mode.
It is possibly emacs specific?

It's message-fill-paragraph.  Were you in Message mode?

Apparently, I have a window manager problem.  When running gnuclient in
console, C-h k M-q tells me fill-paragraph-or-region (if writing this
posting counts as message mode, that is :)  

I probably need to work a bit on my afterstep "feel" file.  ;)

It is probably right.  Binding M-q to message-fill-paragraph is new in
oGnus.
