With proper > completion, of course? Sure. But I think we probably should have a more extensive range of MML insertion commands, move them to mml.el and put them on a common MML keymap. And then `M-m f' (or whatever) would attach a file, `M-m b' a buffer, and, er, I'm sure there should be more commands, but I can't think of any at the moment. Uhm. Oh -- `M-m m' to insert a multipart, and `M-m p' to insert a part. `M-m v' to verify that the MML in the buffer is correct? But `M-m' is taken, I guess. > MIME is not a perfect thing, yet in practice nowadays, it is the way to go. Yes. I'm quite surprised at how workable MIME is turning out to be. I mean, MIME may not be pretty or anything, but it can be made to work, and you can do useful stuff with it. And I didn't think that was the case. It seems that other MIME implemetators haven't really gotten beyond their natural aversion to the stuff, though. :-) -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
