Subject: [patch] Caesar rotation using translate-region
Date: 06 Dec 1999 15:26:12 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9t9bt84kuwr.fsf@mraz.iskon.hr> (raw)

I noticed that message.el avoids using translate-region for rotating,
in order to preserve text properties.  However, my tests show that, at
least under XEmacs, translate-region preserves the properties.  And
judging by the source, it seems to me that it should preserve them
under FSF Emacs at least as well as the hand-crafted version does.

Doing it with translate-region is much, much, and visibly faster.
Especially for larger regions.

So here is a patch:

	* message.el (message-caesar-region): Use translate-region.
