I would like to be able to compose properly "format=flowed" mails, i.e according to RFC 2646 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2646.html) I dont see a really good (perfect) way to do this with emacs. I use "meta-q" lots to re-format paragraphs after making changes. I can use "meta-x set-hard-newlines" but that screws up my editing window (an xterm or konsole), and does not react properly to resizing or meta-q reformatting. At least not currently, maybe it can be made to do so? pine itself supports viewing format=flowed well, as does pico for composition. But I dont like pico :-) Ideas? Kevin
