wrapping mode lines?

wrapping mode lines?

[Jonathan Meeks]

I have a lot of text on my mode line and the text often runs off the
screen.  Does anyone know of a way to have mode lines wrap (like the
minibuffer does in emacs21)?  I suppose I could reduce the amount of
text on the mode, but I would prefer to wrap it

Thanks,

Jonathan

*If* you don't need all the stuff in your mode line, I'd look at
http://www.eskimo.com/~seldon/diminish.el.  I've asked this before, but
never got any responses, which typically means, (1) it's in TFM, or (2) it
was designed in and it's more work than feasible.

Actually, it's already in GNU Emacs --- from the index of the very file you
referenced: "Richard Stallman has decided to incorporate this package into
GNU Emacs."
