Sorry for hastily jumping to a mistaken conclusion about the checked
in patch.  I assume you're referring to the latest recipe I posted in
the incremental undrawing thread.  Indeed, after updating to the
latest CVS sources, I haven't been able to reproduce the problem shown
with that recipe, nor with other experimenting.  And the massive
highlighting problem I had previously reported, which the patch you
posted had fixed, is also gone with your latest patch.  So AFAICS
you've fixed the undrawing/highlighting problem.  I guess the
flickering problem Nick Roberts reported, and the doubling of the MIME
part headers I mentioned in my first report in the other thread, both
of which I can still reproduce with the latest sources, require
different fixes.
