Package: emacs While enriched-encode already sets inhibit-read-only to t to avoid issues with any text bearing the read-only property [1] in the encoded part, it doesn’t yet set inhibit-point-motion-hooks, which easily results in incorrect encoding should text being encoded contain parts protected with the ‘intangible’ property. Example: (with-temp-buffer (insert "Hello, world!\n") (re-search-backward "\\<") (put-text-property (point) (point-max) 'intangible t) (put-text-property (+ -1 (point)) (+ 1 (point)) 'face 'bold) (put-text-property (+ 2 (point)) (+ 3 (point)) 'face 'italic) (enriched-encode (point-min) (point-max) nil) (buffer-substring-no-properties (point-min) (point-max))) "Content-Type: text/enriched Text-Width: 72 Hello, <italic>world! " With the trivial patch MIMEd, this results in the following (correct) string instead: "Content-Type: text/enriched Text-Width: 72 Hello, world!
