I agree the quoted CDesc (and Content-Disposition name parameter)
should get $indent_string prepended.
If it makes sense to quote CDesc in replies to multipart parts, it
probably make sense to quote CDesc in replies to monoparts also. So I
moved the code from end of multipart_handler() to beginning of
mutt_body_handler() which is called for both main body and each part.
Finally I'd like to not make the feature disablable. I consider it
to probably not justify Yet Another Variable. I would not like to
overload "ignore" meaning (one may want to quote Cdesc but not see it in
pager). And after all the replier is already expected to trim quoted
text, so one line more to trim seems to me hopefully bearable.
Uploaded patch-1.5.10.ab.quote_description.2 doing all this.
Bye! Alain.
