Suppose people are composing multipart messages where several parts should be edited using such special modes. RMS wants Emacs to go more into the WYSYWYG direction, so we can expect stuff like this to happen more often. So, what we need is a way to edit a buffer using some special mode. When editing in that mode is finished, the internal representation needs to be transformed to the storage form (format-alist?) which would then be included in the message. Or, we need a way to dissect a buffer into areas each of which is edited in a different mode. OLE, anyone? Am I misunderstanding something? I'm not saying all of this should work right now, but the basic machinery could be there to be used with enriched-mode now (and maybe htmlify) and other stuff could be plugged in later. kai -- Abort this operation?
