MIME MIME MIME Lars> Did we even discuss MIME composition? How should it be done? I actually like the way TM does mime composition (but hated the display usage, and like your set much better).

Hm... Invisible Lars> text sucks... Hm. What's wrong with invis text? Does it mess up auto-saving? To pull open a previous draft, you have to mime-parse it to re-hide the pieces? Why not have the article display functions work on the message mode as well? Simply bind keys to putting in the appropriate stuff into the buffer? Wow a true WYSIWG editor? (Ok, modes that do replacements on the text rather than hiding like W3 does will have to be shot). Lars> How about narrowing? Lars> The user starts writing a message.

Ick: text/plain application/octet-string text/plain How do you edit the second text/plain, if you want to add text after the stuff you just inserted. -- "Ninjas aren't dangerous.
