text/plain format="filled" issue (or bug?)

[Daniel Pittman]

The new 'format="filled"' code is rather nice, especially as so many
mailers out there seem to use it. It's rather nice, except for one
little glitch that I am not quite sure how to deal with.

It seems that something, and not 'fill-flowed.el', is setting
'fill-column' in the Gnus article buffer.

This is a PITA as I have wide frames, but a narrow(er) wrap specified.
For everything else, things are filled to 79 characters. Fill-flowed
stuff is filled to the width of the frame, wider than I prefer.

Is there any way to make sure that 'fill-column' is not set in article
buffers?

Are anybody here familiar with the bowels of `fill-region', which is
what flow-fill uses?  Does it set `fill-column' under some conditions?

I don't know, but I just noticed that W3 sets it buffer-local if
you view a text/html message, and it'll last as long as the
*Article* buffer isn't deleted.

Yes, that's it (for me, at least).  flow-fill is _not_ resetting
fill-column, but if you view an HTML message before hand, it will
get reset and flow-fill will use that value.

Ok.  This should be fixed in cvs in a few minutes.
