Yes, that would do it. Unfortunately, the prefix argument is already being used to toggle between regular forward and resend message. We could make C-u f resend and C-u C-u f forward the non-default way, but that feels kludgy to me. It's not ideal, but it is better than nothing. We could add F for the alternative forward method or move resend to its own key, R, and make C-u f the alternative forward (not muscle memory backwards compatible). These are ok too, We should probably rename (with obsolete alias) rmail-enable-mime-composing to something like rmail-default-forwarding-method if we do this. With any of these changes in interface, we don't need a variable like rmail-enable-mime-composing or rmail-default-forwarding-method, under any name. The interface will be enough. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
