Editing article

[Steinar Bang]

Just as a test I did "e" on an article containing an image.  I was
curious what I would see: naked MIME or MML.  It looked like MML.

However, I didn't see any traces of the image and the image was gone
and the MML only half translated back when I did C-c C-c.

What's the plan for article editing?

Well, it was probably neither -- just the raw, displayed article.

I don't know, really...  One way would be to transform the article
from MIME to MML, but that would be a lot of work.  But I don't really 
see any other option...

Hmm.  Why?  If you already have all the handles parsed, then it
shouldn't be hard to print out an MML version.  The inline images
could be handled using

<#part type=image/gif contents=inline encoding=base64 -- or whatever -->
... base64 image ...
<#!/part>

Not exactly trivial, but not too hard, either.

It's not hard; it's just a lot of typing.  :-)

Well, maybe it won't even be all that much typing.  I imagined having
to put the contents out to files and stuff.  But perhaps that's not
necessary.

Personally I would be happy if I'm allowed to edit the raw MIME
message.

You can do that now.  `C-u g e'.
