Dear all,
I've recently switched to using mutt to handle my mail, which was getting a bit out of hand.
As a result, I now use TextMate when writing emails and it occurred to me that it would be lovely if TM supported format=flowed text.
The basic idea is this: instead of the horrible quoted mess that often results in long threads, where some lines miss the quoting etc etc.
A full description can be found at http://joeclark.org/ffaq.html, and technical details at http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/kb/1625hq.html and http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2646.txt
My question is this: would it be feasible to implement this in TM, either in the core or as a plugin, so that f=f text can be displayed, rewrapped and reflowed? I suppose since the format=flowed headers come within the text of the document, it would make more sense if it were a plugin, to be switched on and off at will.
Anyone have any comments/suggestions?
Regards, Nick

TextMate sort of already has this in the form of soft wrap.
So what you need is only to post/pre-process letters before/after handing them over to TextMate (i.e. merge quoted lines before, and do hard wrap after, inserting a trailing space).
