Not really, but I have an idea for handling quoted text: how about using the
comments.sl functions for quoting and dequoting by 
  set_comment_info("> ", "", flags);
in mail_mode()?

In order to do this, routines to reformat a quoted text should be
incorporated (as reformat_comment) into comments.sl. I'd volunteer for this,
if there is a chance this gets into the distribution one day...

How about documenting and release as jed-1.00 :-) ?

Actually, what I am still missing is online-documentation for the slang
keywords. While many/most of the functions documentation is accessible via
jed's help system, I still have to look into "A guide to the SLang language"
if I want to find out the correct syntax for "switch/case", say. Could this
be merged into the _slang_doc_dir?
