I do use `M-q' on long lists of symbols sometimes (mostly because `pp'
is so unhelpful when rendering those), so it would be annoying to see
that go.
What about just a new, simple filling method for Lisp-like text? For
instance, if you `M-q' outside of text, it's just convert this:
(defun feedmail-default-date-generator (maybe-file)
"Default function for generating Date: header contents."
(feedmail-say-debug ">in-> feedmail-default-date-generator")
(when maybe-file
(feedmail-say-debug (concat "4 cre " (feedmail-rfc822-date (nth 4 (file-attributes maybe-file)))))
(feedmail-say-debug (concat "5 mod " (feedmail-rfc822-date (nth 5 (file-attr
into this:
(defun feedmail-default-date-generator (maybe-file)
"Default function for generating Date: header contents."
(feedmail-say-debug ">in-> feedmail-default-date-generator")
(when maybe-file
(feedmail-say-debug (concat "4 cre " (feedmail-rfc822-date (nth 4
(file-attributes maybe-file)))))
(feedmail-say-debug (concat "5 mod " (feedmail-rfc822-date (nth 5
(file-attr
It'd still be wrong, but at least it wouldn't destroy the strings...
