turn off flowed?

turn off flowed?

[Kai Großjohann]

My Emacs segfaults when trying to display a `format=flowed' message.
Is there a way to turn off handling of this format until I get a new
version which doesn't segfault anymore?

I don't think so.  I didn't see how vcards, enriched/richtext, etc
could be disabled so I didn't add any hooks for disabling
format=flowed.

What would be the best way to do that?  `mm-use-flow-fill-p'?
`mm-use-vcard-p'?

(If there is a way of disabling vcards, the same method might apply to
format=flowed too, though.)

Okay, I have now commented out the (fill-flowed) statement in
mm-view.el.  I think that could kluge me along until I get a better
Emacs.

Viewing of all the MIME types can be controlled by fiddling with the
viewers -- if you want text/v-card to be displayed in an xterm, and
not with vcard.el, that's doable.  (Even though, at the moment, I have
no idea how to do that.  :-)

The "format" parameter to the text/plain type can't be controlled, it
seems.  I think it should be possible for the user to control that,
too, through some mechanism or other...

FWIW, I now have a more recent snapshot and Emacs does not dump core
on my when viewing such messages.

Now there's a different error, but it only happens on some messages,
and Emacs doesn't die anymore.

While it lasted, I changed the source code to not invoke fill-flowed.
