Navigate cited text with single-space sentence endings

Navigate cited text with single-space sentence endings

[Kai Großjohann]

Normally, I use two spaces after sentence endings.

However, for M-a and M-e in cited text in messages, it might be useful
to find sentence endings with only one space, as well, since often,
the original message does not use two spaces after sentence endings.

Suggestions?

(add-hook 'message-mode
  (lambda ()
    "Use one-space sentence endings in this mode..."
    (set (make-local-variable 'sentence-end-double-space) nil)))

Well, of course I want some fancy behavior.  I think I want this:

* M-e and M-a should find ". " in addition to ".  " in cited text.

* It is okay for M-a/M-e to find ". " in my own text, too, but I think
  I would prefer them to only find ".  " in my own text.

* M-q should have the double-space behavior when invoked on my own
  text.

* I'm not sure what I want M-q to do in cited text.

So, it is not enough to just frob sentence-end-double-space, since
that affects cited text and my own text in the same way.
