And many currenn > display hooks do change the text, e.g. `W w'. But I do like that. To permanently edit an article to be what `W w' had done with it, you now only have to type `C-u g W w e C-c C-c'. So I think it's useful to be able to have things like that happen, but not things like MIME buttons. Uhm. Hm. Hm. Hm. I don't see an obvious user interface to determine which washes should be "edit-permanent", and which should be undone before editing. > Are people really editing stuff that often to make this a problem? I've had reports from people who use Gnus to edit large groups of documents that are shared between people. This kinda-sorta worked in a satisfactor manner until now (if some washing functions were avoided), but the MIME button thing made the problem more obvious. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
