Subject: Re: Support for encoding format=flowed (RFC 2646)
Date: Sat, 12 Jan 2002 14:18:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ilu4rlrhfn2.fsf@extundo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <iluadvknzru.fsf@extundo.com> (Simon Josefsson's message of "Sat, 12 Jan 2002 02:06:45 +0100")

I added some documentation as well.  The Emacs MIME manual says it 
is not directed at users, but some things seems to only be 
documented there.  Should things be duplicated elsewhere as well? 
Where?

Flowed text
===========

   The Emacs MIME library will respect the `use-hard-newlines' 
variable (*note Hard and Soft Newlines: (emacs)Hard and Soft 
Newlines.) when encoding a message, and the "format=flowed" 
Content-Type parameter when decoding a message.

   On encoding text, lines terminated by soft newline characters 
are filled together and wrapped after the column decided by 
`fill-flowed-encode-column'.  This variable controls how the text 
will look in a client that does not support flowed text, the 
default is to wrap after 66 characters.  If hard newline 
characters are not present in the buffer, no flow encoding occurs.

   On decoding flowed text, lines with soft newline characters are 
filled together and wrapped after the column decided by 
`fill-flowed-display-column'.  The default is to wrap after 
`fill-column'.
