#on/#off directives just seems like the wrong solution. [..]
But if you run "mime" at a WhatNow? prompt then presumably
you're smart enough to know you have to escape any leading #
characters.
I'm trying to write as short as possible (to make less gramar
mistakes =:-)), but sometimes it is too short.
Suppose, you use automimeproc: 1 and you want to include (as a
part of the message) some lines from program source, shell script
or whatever.
You can type
#off
:r whatever (or copy by mouse)
#on
and do not have to edit (and remember to edit) included part to escape
leading #.
As the additional directive, user doesn't have to know about it
unless he needs it.
