New message-mode fontification: problem with continuation header lines

New message-mode fontification: problem with continuation header lines

[Kai Grossjohann]

Hi,

message-mode doesn't fontify continuation header lines, i.e. the first
line is fontified, the second isn't:

    Subject: This is a long subject,
             the second line of which isn't fontified

Try constructing one.  Note: message-mode.

Hm, yes...  I'm not at all familiar with font-lock, but shouldn't the
following regexp match both lines?

"^\\(Subject:\\)[ \t]*\\(.+\\(\n[ \t].*\\)*\\)"

Looks like it to me...  unless font-lock is a one-line kinda thing?

Too bad, you need to do something more complicated.  Simon explained
how to do it once, but I immediately forgot :-(
