APPROVE COMMIT 21.5 Mostly a personal convenience in practice, but I think it's a useful interface at times, similar to Gnus "washing" but useful outside of the MUA. The similar base64-{de,en}code-region are interactive. I've had this in my miscellaneous workspace for years, and it's the only one left now. Will revert if anybody thinks it's pointless bloat or something. :-) Index: src/ChangeLog =================================================================== RCS file: /pack/xemacscvs/XEmacs/xemacs/src/ChangeLog,v retrieving revision 1.930 diff -u -U0 -r1.930 ChangeLog --- src/ChangeLog 25 Mar 2006 11:27:43 -0000 1.930 +++ src/ChangeLog 26 Mar 2006 12:54:42 -0000 ＠＠ -0,0 +1,5 ＠＠ +2006-03-24 Stephen J.
