27 ;; This implement decoding of RFC2646 formatted text, including the
28 ;; quoted-depth wins rules.
30 ;; Theory of operation: search for lines ending with SPC, save quote
31 ;; length of line, remove SPC and concatenate line with the following
32 ;; line if quote length of following line matches current line.
34 ;; When no further concatenations are possible, we've found a
35 ;; paragraph and we let `fill-region' fill the long line into several
36 ;; lines with the quote prefix as `fill-prefix'.
38 ;; Todo: implement basic `fill-region' (Emacs and XEmacs
39 ;; implementations differ..)
43 ;; 2000-02-17 posted on ding mailing list
44 ;; 2000-02-19 use `point-at-{b,e}ol' in XEmacs
45 ;; 2000-03-11 no compile warnings for point-at-bol stuff
46 ;; 2000-03-26 committed to gnus cvs
47 ;; 2000-10-23 don't flow "-- " lines, make "quote-depth wins" rule
48 ;; work when first line is at level 0.
49 ;; 2002-01-12 probably incomplete encoding support
50 ;; 2003-12-08 started working on test harness.
