It just makes it so much easier to write longer responses (which I know RMS doesn't do very often :-) Now, I use message-mode rather than mail-mode, so as long as the change is specific to mail-mode, I don't care too much. > I really don't think we should > disable that fontification now just because you happen to dislike it.

Message mode already has numerous faces to play with... I fail to see the rationale for extending mail-mode, when we already have another mode that DTRT... Why don't we simply promote message-mode, and deprecate mail-mode. Would (defalias 'mail-mode 'message-mode) work? -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
