Are there any plans to write something like that for message-mode, as `fill-paragraph' is obviously insufficient, even in its advanced versions, like filladapt. I'd like to start hacking on a good preformatting routine written in Lisp (specifically for preformatting news articles), so if someone is also doing work on this, please let me know. -- Hrvoje Niksic | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- Ask not for whom the tolls. ------- Start of forwarded message ------- From: Eli the Bearded Newsgroups: news.software.readers,alt.fan.e-t-b Subject: Re: Details On: How To Read News With Netscape :-> Date: 25 Feb 1997 17:13:48 GMT Organization: Some absurd concept Message-ID: <5ev6kc$98$1@news.netusa.net> References: <5efe4k$352@prometheus.acsu.buffalo.edu> <01bc201c$98b800a0$89ca57c6@robo> Keywords: quotation thread point text people original line Posted and mailed.
