Message mangled

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello,

The article <92164B15-45D1-4D76-9AF6-8E1E098C04BD@telia.com> (also at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guile/2011-01/msg00048.html>)
gets mangled by Gnus.  The raw article looks like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
On 20 Jan 2011, at 22:01, Ludovic Court=E8s wrote:

$ make

`guile-config link` -lstdc++ -o guile++
Undefined symbols:
   "_GC_register_finalizer_no_order", referenced from:
       _make_c_exception in exception.o
       _make_exception in exception.o
       _make_tuple in tuple.o
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [all] Error 1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But the trailing ‘=20’ and the leading backquote on the next line get
swallowed, and a newline is inserted there.

Any idea?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Well, the content-transfer-encoding is obviously quoted-printable, which
is why the =20 is, er, decoded.  But the ` being swallowed is odd.

The newline is probably due to the auto-folding stuff.  Does `C-u C-u g'
unfold the line?

The article is also format=flowed which adds another decoding layer.

Right.  Is the article publicly available somewhere?  (I.e., "what's the
Message-ID".  :-)

Hi Lars,

Sorry for the delay.

It’s <92164B15-45D1-4D76-9AF6-8E1E098C04BD@telia.com>, also at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guile/2011-01/msg00048.html> and
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.guile.bugs/4990>.

Thanks,

It is flow-fill that's doing this...  but not the parts you'd think.

If you eval the following in a Gnus article buffer:

(progn
  (setq buffer-read-only nil)
  (insert "gcc parser.o lexer.o driver.o guile++.o guile.o exception.o tuple.o `guile-config link` -lstdc++ -o guile++\n")
  (forward-line -1)
  (let ((fill-prefix nil)
        (fill-column (eval fill-flowed-display-column))
        filladapt-mode
        adaptive-fill-mode)
    (fill-region (point-at-bol)
                 (min (1+ (point-at-eol))
                      (point-max))
                 'left 'nosqueeze)))

Then the ` before "guile-config" will disappear.

Anybody got any ideas why fill-region would do that?
