In the same way that lines must be hard-wrapped to fit a 80 column terminal I inferred that long description should also fit in a 24 line terminal, and that README should used for anything longer. Maybe it's not a hard rule, but this has always struck me as a sort of standard. At any rate, I've updated the description. > > These two points seem contradictory to me.

I think this is probably the simplest rich-minority-mode equivalent, assuming that subsequent (diminish 'minor-mode-function) adds items to-be-hidden: (push " Fill" rm-blacklist) I haven't investigated corner cases, but it would seem that rich-minority-mode might also be simple :-) All of your comments should be addressed by 419b8ca which I believe is ready to upload. I would be very appreciative if you would also grand DM permissions for it :-) Thank you, Nicholas
