Broken patches due to MML

Broken patches due to MML

[Robert Bihlmeyer]

Hi,

sometimes it is really necessary to include the unspeakable
less-than-hash-part sequence verbatim. For example gnus patches:
The 0.56 patch sent over ding-patches@gnus.org was broken, because MML 
munged any occurances of the forbidden word into MIME separators.

Is this brokenness in MML, the send-patch-mechanism, or both?

Is there a way to quote this? Does message automatically quote any
occurances inside a part I insert?

Yeah, and here was me thinking it was me that was broken :)

send-patch-mechanism (See below)

There is a way to quote the part thingies which I can't actually
remember at the moment, and no message doesn't automatically quote them
because it is perfectly legal for you to manually insert a part
definition. Therefore we're left with option b) Lars' send patch is
broken as it should really look for and correctly quote the part things
in patches. Still since he's given us pretty characters and pictures
I'll let him off ;)

Should be fixed, according to Lars.

Yes. But I think there should be convenience-functions that
automatically quote this stuff. At least `message-mml-quote-region' or
something.

Yup.  I've added `mml-quote-region' to `C-c C-m C-q' in 0.63.
