`gnus-treat-fill-long-lines' variable

`gnus-treat-fill-long-lines' variable

[Xavier Maillard]

Hello,

What is the expected behaviour of this variable ?

I have tried many things with it and it seems to me it is just not 
working at all for me.

My problem is I would like Gnus to deal correctly with content-type
format=flowed from Mozilla users.

Currently with my setting untouched, format=flowed results here in having long
unwrapped lines.

I tried to play with this variable thinking it would deal with that case but it
seems it is not.

My last try was to set gnus-treat-fill-long-lines to '(typep "text/plain") but
still no good result.

In a last resort, I looked at flow-fill, but it sounds like it just work for
encoding not for decoding. Right ?

And finally I found 'mm-flow-fill' which according to its docstring, displays
format=flowed as flowed when `non-nil'. By default it sets to 't' so it should
treat flowed correctly but for me it is not. 

My current workaround is to set it to nil (mm-flow-fill), and now Mozilla users
posting are well rendered but dunno if it is the riht way to do so.

Any idea ??

Regards,

zeDek

There could be some strange interactions between these two things.
Do you have a test message that shows the problems?
