* MIME-View

** dynamic configuration for 'mime-preview-condition

** multipart/related support

** Don't use filter-model

  tomo (major developer of SEMI) and akr (major developer of
FLIM-FLAM) discussed about Emacs 20.3 problem related with SEMI and
FLIM.  They found essential problem with Emacs 20.3 are:

  - Emacs 20.3 separates string-type to unibyte-string and
    multibyte-string.  Emacs 20.3 has enough APIs to treat them.

  - Buffer has mode about interpretation of contents.  Each mode is
    designed to save semantics as characters.  Namely buffer contains
    unibyte-characters or multibyte-characters.  One buffer can not
    contain both representations.

  - {decode|encode}-coding-{region|string} run in byte world.  So it
    is not harmonized with other API.

  - It seems easy to write code in one mode or one world
    (unibyte-string or multibyte-string).  However it seems not easy
    to write inter-mode program, such as SEMI.

  - Byte <-> byte conversion, such as base64, quoted-printable, must
    be run only with unibyte-mode.

  - Byte <-> character conversion, such as
    {decode|encode}-coding-region, should not be defined in single
    buffer.  Instead of them, decoder should read from unibyte buffer
    and output to multibyte buffer.  Similarly, encoder should read
    from multibyte buffer and output to unibyte buffer.
    `insert-buffer-substring' like API may be suitable.  Anyway Emacs
    introduces multiple representations, so it should be redesigned
    based on multiple representation world model.

  Anyway FLIM should introduce new APIs based on inter-representation
world model.  Conventional APIs should be implemented based on new
APIs.

  SEMI should abolish filter model and introduce new methods to
display inline data.  These methods should use new FLIM APIs based on
inter-representation world model.


* MIME-Edit

** WYSIWYG editing support

** Use MIME-Preview like tag and display

** Redesign to use two buffers for one message

  MIME-View is based on "Multiple Representation Space (layer) Model".
In this model, network representation and its presentation are
distinguished.  Thus MIME-View uses two buffers for one message,
'mime-raw-buffer (for network representation) and
'mime-preview-buffer.  MIME-View manages them based on information of
entities.  According to experience of MIME-View, this model is good to
treat complex structured data, such as MIME.

  MIME-Edit was designed to use one buffer for one message.  So it is
hard to edit like WYSIWYG style.  Format of tag is limited by
translation.  Content of forwarded message is unreadable.  It is
better to introduce "Multiple Representation Space Model" to resolve
these problems.

** Check available MIME-charset

    MIME-charset $B0J30$,@8@.$5$l$k>l9g$N=hM}$r;XDj$G$-$k$h$&$K$9$k!#(B

    For example:

        (a) translate problematic characters to similar representation
	(b) display warning message
	    (e.g. "`x-ctext' is generated.  Do you send it? (yes/no)")
	(c) stop sending

** Don't use buffer-local variables

  Don't use buffer-local variables to control behavior about
translating to network representation, such as 'mime-transfer-level,
'mime-transfer-level-string,
'mime-edit-charset-default-encoding-alist, 'mime-edit-pgp-processing.
Because they have problem with Semi-gnus.


* Etc.

** Write manual
