        Another thing that's wanted is a way to wrap long lines when
source ('\') is toggled for text/html and you don't plan to pass that
to an external text/plain viewer.  One way to handle everything that's
wanted without using up another command key is to have '\' invoke a
prompt which offers you the relevant options when the document is
thought to be text/html versus text/plain based on a Content-Type
header, suffix map, or default assumption.  Since the source toggle
isn't used really often, interposing a prompt wouldn't be a terrible
pain in the neck (no worse than the clicking for pull-downs to make
homologous choices with GUI browsers :).
