On my eternal todo-list is a way of sending out formulas as attachments in a buffer. The formulas should display as formulas and would be generated with specific commands that would probably have an MML command covered by display property of the formula. This should get sent without problems. On the other hand, _pasting_ stuff with the display property from a different buffer where the corresponding text for generating the picture might be something completely different, is not going to be a good idea. Underlying a display property may be something that only bears relation to a particular buffer. Ok, in this case I get saved by a whisker since I actually use overlays (which don't exist in XEmacs), and overlays are buffer properties, not text properties. But the point was: the display property might serve a purpose in a mail buffer. Maybe for a specific purpose, one would again use an overlay (and then be sure that, being generated buffer-specifically, the covered text is fit for sending in a mail buffer). -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
