Subject: hyphenation & MIME wrapping

Hi,

I remembered a feature wish of mine while pondering the dict.el stuff.

What I think would be a cool addition to gnus/emacs is automatic
hyphenation (AFAIK there are algorithms for that and you don't need
wordlists and stuff). Word-wrapping while composing could be augmented
to deal with supercalifragilistically long words. For Gnus, this helps
message composition, and the display of articles.

For example, pgnus treats MIMEish soft-returns ("=\n") wrong. It
ignores it completely, resulting in a very long line which is
displayed by emacs in the default (read: unreadable) way. These
paragraphs should be wrapped to the present line-width, to be in the
spirit of MIME. Even giving up and treating soft-returns as proper
returns is better than the current solution.

	Robbe
