I imagine the same could go for the mode line, but I don't have a clear need for that right now. I know that the fringes can occupy > 1 column, so it seems like an oversight if the header and mode lines are restricted to 1 line. I've written a minor mode for reading/sorting physics abstracts from the physics arXiv. The mode either lists subdirectories directly under the current directory, or recursively lists all subdirectories of the pwd. Either way, the list could potentially be longer than the width of the screen, making some directory names unviewable. A multiline header would make it perfect. I thought of putting that text in the buffer, but that makes it much harder to update the text. Peter Mao
