Actually, there seems to be a problem with doing this. The
straightforward approach for using write-region-annotate is:
(defun pmail-write-region-annotate (start end)
(when (pmail-buffers-swapped-p)
(set-buffer pmail-view-buffer)
(widen)
nil))
The `widen' is necessary because pmail-view-buffer, which contains the
swapped-out buffer contents, is narrowed to the current message.
Without it, only the narrowed part of pmail-view-buffer is written out,
which is wrong. However, we need to re-narrow pmail-view-buffer after
performing write-region, otherwise pmail screws up. It's not clear how
to do so.
So we must either (i) put buffer-swapped-with back in and use that, or
(ii) modify annotations to somehow automatically widen and save
restrictions when the current buffer is switched.
Any suggestions?
