The user shouldn't have to think about this at all. The user taps, `C-c C-a cindy.gif RET', and that's it.

Exposing the junk at the end would do no harm to the user interface, but it might be confusing. The same could be said of other narrowing modes, like tar mode and info mode. (Although one doesn't really edit much there, so they are a bit different, I guess.) -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
