Both can be had with a simple pipe cability. In VI I would send the paragraph to "fmt -60" to rewrap it. Sending it to sed to s/> //g would de quote it. And echo "text" | sed -e s/> //g | fmt -60 | sed -e s/^/> / would get close to your needs of re-wrapping quoted text (now you can start to see the issues of re-wraaping doubly and triplely replied to text). So if I had 1) Hi-lite TEXT with mouse. 2) Right click to "Send to pipe command" 3) a box appears with the command line 4) output replaces TEXT 5) send to pipe command has a history, and ability to "save pipes" which become direct pipes off the mouse click (so I can have cut, copy, fmt, de-quote, re-quote, etc.) 6) As people submit the common pipes, ximian adds them to the default package. -- Zot O'Connor http://www.ZotConsulting.com http://www.WhiteKnightHackers.com _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
