It would be useful if one could could restrict the washing commands to only operate on the active region. Then you could use h M-h W w jump to the article buffer, mark a badly formatted paragraph and refill it without affecting other parts. Hm, that's much less convenient than a DWIMish operation, so maybe it's better to teach `W w' to handle bulleted/numbered lists properly... Bye, Tassilo -- Sent from my Emacs
