I seem to remember experimenting with this at one point -- there's still code like (put-text-property (point) (progn (insert mail-header-separator "\n") (1- (point))) 'read-only nil) in message.el, which seems rather pointless. I'm guessing that that nil was t once upon a time. I also seem to remember it being highly annoying having read-only text in the buffer, but I don't remember why... -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
