WIBNI M-q in a header would refill that header?

Sure.
I often find myself typing `M-q' in the headers destroying everything.
Luckily, I'm aware of `C-/'...
Bye, Reiner.

Wow. `M-q' in Message headers is really broken... I've never
noticed before. What's the correct way to fix that? Some headers
really aren't refillable (for instance, "Face"), but some are (like
"From").

All standard RFC2822 headers can be folded (filled). Other
headers should probably be left alone. This could be implemented
with a list/regexp of fillable headers. I recommend " " as the
fill prefix. It should work well with auto-fill-mode. It should
try to work well with existing third-party extensions like
bbdb-autowrap-recipient.
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html:
2.2.3. Long Header Fields
Each header field is logically a single line of characters comprising
the field name, the colon, and the field body. For convenience
however, and to deal with the 998/78 character limitations per line,
the field body portion of a header field can be split into a multiple
line representation; this is called "folding". The general rule is
that wherever this standard allows for folding white space (not
simply WSP characters), a CRLF may be inserted before any WSP. For
example, the header field:
Subject: This is a test
can be represented as:
Subject: This
is a test
Note: Though structured field bodies are defined in such a way that
folding can take place between many of the lexical tokens (and even
within some of the lexical tokens), folding SHOULD be limited to
placing the CRLF at higher-level syntactic breaks. For instance, if
a field body is defined as comma-separated values, it is recommended
that folding occur after the comma separating the structured items in
preference to other places where the field could be folded, even if
it is allowed elsewhere.
The process of moving from this folded multiple-line representation
of a header field to its single line representation is called
"unfolding". Unfolding is accomplished by simply removing any CRLF
that is immediately followed by WSP. Each header field should be
treated in its unfolded form for further syntactic and semantic
evaluation.

I've now implemented this.

Thanks Lars! It works like charm.
I have been waiting for M-q to work in some decent fashion for the longest
time!
