changes to paragraph fill?

changes to paragraph fill?

[Eric Abrahamsen]

Hitting M-q on the first paragraph of a message used to not munge the
message headers into one big block of text. It does now, and I'm
wondering is commit 436a2a323 the reason? I'm sure that commit was made
for good reasons, etc, but could we add something back in (if only just
a re-definition of paragraph-start to include `mail-header-separator',
or whatever the recommended solution is to this sort of issue), so that
filling the first paragraph doesn't fill the headers too?

Or is this something I've mucked up locally?

Hm, it doesn't modify the headers here now.  Reverting the changes
makes no difference, either.

The main reason I made the changes was to fill long address lines
in the header part of a reply message according to the value of
`message-field-fillers' (in which `message-fill-field-address' is
mapped to To, Cc, and From headers by default).

In my case the value of `paragraph-start' in a message-mode
buffer is:

"--text follows this line--$\\|[ \t]*$\\|-- $\\|---+$\\|^\f$..."

This is the result of what `message-setup-fill-variables' does,
not due to my customization.

Doesn't something modify it outside of the message-mode?

Sorry for the red herring! Dumb assumption on my part, and one I could
have checked myself.

Turns out that a message-mode-hook that ran (turn-on-orgstruct++) was
clobbering this. I've been using the hook for a while now with no
adverse effect, but looking at the orgmode list I see there have been
other, previous notes about this. My apologies for
poorly-researched complaint! I'll try plain (turn-on-orgstruct) for now.
