Ah, I forgot Apple Mail got rid of format=flowed and now happily sends long lines. Sigh.

If we had it output mhbuild directives, that would be even better. >From what I can tell, a mhbuild directive at the top of the text that looked like this: #<text/plain; format=flowed would do the right thing. Assuming, of course, that the body was formatted correctly. This gets into a larger meta-topic ... how do we compose messages in the modern world in nmh? Back when it was all simple text it was easy, but now as we've seen the power of nmh to use your favorite text editor is a bit of a liability. Right now nmh just uses the contents of your draft as what to send out to the SMTP server, but as we've seen we need to be a bit smarter. The attach functionality is a good start, but I'm wondering what other people are thinking about in terms of "improved" message composition in nmh? How should we interact with a user's editor and any MIME formatting we need to do? Sigh. Nothing obvious pops out at me; I'm open to suggestions. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
