Always set visual-line-mode to the intended state

2024-01-10T18:24:29Z

commit a7e590d471e2cb973cf43c178339ba24d075e274 parent f9226f2dd0cf05fe7ff69bfe1b2cefa516c8c4f5 Author: Kévin Le Gouguec Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2024 19:24:29 +0100 Always set visual-line-mode to the intended state Since the article buffer is re-used, visual-line-mode will keep its previous state if not explicitly set. So before the patch 1. I display article 1, which should be wrapped: the hook sets visual-line-mode to t, 2. I display article 2, which should not be wrapped: truncate-lines is set to t, but visual-line-mode remains t (not a biggie, truncate-lines "wins"), 3. I decide I want to wrap article 2, so I call the visual-line-mode toggling command: visual-line-mode is set to nil; seemingly nothing happens. This patch dispels the confusion.

Make Gnus leverage visual-line-mode

For Gnus, the dance is a bit more involved. Not 100% happy with where I landed, but at least I gave myself an escape hatch by rebinding C-c d v in summary buffers. Also, * lift size restriction when fontifying citations: it mostly only ever causes fontification failures when people review big patches, * tweak header order slightly, * align shr heading faces with eighters-title-* faces.
