Suggestion of a new washing function

Suggestion of a new washing function

[Raymond Scholz]

Hi!

I suggest a washing function that turns something like

,----
| > foo bar bla peng bumm tschak
| zonk boing 
| > peng bumm tschak bar foo bla
`----

into

,----
| > foo bar bla peng bumm tschak
| 
| zonk boing 
| 
| > peng bumm tschak bar foo bla
`----

Cheers, Ray

for me, it looks like broken text quotation (aka outlook quotation).

i'd rather format it like that:

,----
| > foo bar bla peng bumm tschak zonk boing 
| > peng bumm tschak bar foo bla
`----

(anyone got already lisp magic for that?)

That's a misunderstanding.  What I thought of is correct quotation but
no blank lines between quoted and newly written text, which makes it
hard to read.

Yes :-)

Good job!  I want to add my thanks and congratulations.

And now ... for the $64k question (or nowadays, the $1024k question):

Is there any hope of somehow getting this to be a part of
`fill-paragraph' processing?

I'm still wishing for some way to totally and completely unify the
paragraph formatting logic that's used within article washing with the
paragraph formatting logic that `fill-paragraph' uses.

Any hope for this?  Or at very least, I'd be thrilled to be able to
use your deuglification (or "deM$ification", which is synonymous) code
within `fill-paragraph'.

Greatest kudos go to Thomas Steffen who wrote the code inspired by 
Stefan Monnier's code (<39205aa6@tequila.cs.yale.edu>).  I only did
some tuning and posted it on my.gnus.org (most difficult :)

You mean putting 

(gnus-article-fill-cited-article)

into the top level deuglification function?
