What was going wrong?
Using the function `mu4e-view-message-text',
mu4e~draft-cite-original created a temporary buffer. Based on this
buffer the function message-cite-original-without-signature,
borrowed from Gnus, had to extract the date for the citation
line. The problem was, that this function depends on a standardized
date in ISO format whilst mu4e-view-message-text formatted the date
according to the setting of mu4e-view-date-format.
This patch hopefully solves this problem by setting
mu4e-view-date-format in function mu4e~draft-cite-original.
The first sentence should summarize the variable's or function's
purpose and it should fit on the first line. Change existing
doc-string by:
* Move first sentence onto first line even if that makes it _a bit_
long.
* Move additional notes out of first sentence and add them later,
possibly as complete sentences.
* If I am uncertain whether doing the above would alter the meaning,
_don't_ do it.
* If fitting the initial sentence on the first line would require a
complete rewrite of the doc-string _don't_ do so unless it is very
easy to do.
* Remove indentation from second and later lines if it is there to
align them with the first in the source code, instead of in
`describe-*' output.
* Make "pullet point" lists a bit more consistent.
Obviously this does not fix all problems but it's a start.
