Subject: Mail mode vs Message mode
Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2024 18:24:14 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87cyjkulv5.fsf@riseup.net> (raw)
Hello!
I'm choosing which mail composition method to use betweem mailmode
(sendmail.el) and messagemode (message.el). I wish there were a
comprehensive compare and contrast on the Emacs manual!
I gather the main difference is that one provides MIME-support (whatever
this means). Are they being developped "in parallel"? Do they have
overlapping functionalities which are implemented differently? Why not
just merge them into one single MIME-compliant mode which is compatible
with both: this will spare so much confusion to newbies!
Please let me know! (and please CC: my email address because I'm not
subscribed to this list)
