Your lines seem to be wrapped at character 100 or so. Doesn't bother me, my editor (which, contrary to vi, is a real editor <wink>) does the paragraph reflowing for me :)
which editor is that? I can't seem to figure it out from the message headers :)
It's 'joe', but it could have been (X)Emacs as well :) I haven't figured out how to teach (X)Emacs about quote characters yet, though. (joe recognizes common prefixes and takes them into account when doing paragraph reflowing. Say you have a text like
foo bar baz baz
and you type ^Kj while inside that paragraph, or you select the text and type ^Kj, it figures out '> ' is used to quote the paragraph and adjusts the string accordingly. So instead of
foo > bar baz baz
you end up with
foo bar baz baz
It fucks up occasionaly, and you don't want to do paragraph reflowing on a preformated paragraph (say, Python code examples :) but for replying to people with broken mailers/editors, it's +rock :) And besides, if it goes wrong, you do ^_ (undo :)
