{{{
In fact, experimentation reveals mutt already does some checking to
see whether the first line (when no blank separating line was left in
the editor) is "really" a header.
Suppose that in my editor (with $edit_headers set), I see:
---------
To: a...@b.com
From: m...@c.com
Subject: blah
Date: blah
Dear Charles,
One two three.
----------
Mutt knows that even though there's no separating blank, the "Dear
Charles," is not a header, so mutt inserts a blank separating line
once the editor is quit.
Mutt even knows how to do this with *some* colon-containing lines:
-------------
To: a...@b.com
From: m...@c.com
Subject: blah
Date: blah
Dear Charles: Hello
One two three.
----------
Here mutt knows that "Dear Charles: Hello" is not a header, and mutt
inserts a separating blank line once the editor is quit. I am
guessing that mutt knows this is not a header because of the space
between "Dear" and "Charles".
Mutt fails to be properly smart about:
-------------
To: a...@b.com
From: m...@c.com
Subject: blah
Date: blah
http://one.two.three
One two three.
----------
And I am suggesting that all mutt need do is notice the lack of a
space immediately following "http://";
