But then again, % using external editors and all, I have no idea on that one. I just think % it's a nice feature (the built-in macro list is huge, but darned useful). % That kind of thing saves one a lot of time. % % I'll bet this can already be done in Mutt, right? Yep. Check out $attribution and $signature (as an external program pipe) for the top and bottom, $editor for your proper command to place your cursor, and $indent_string for how to quote the original note. If you really insist on reformatting someone else's text, use par to rewrap the body, either by calling it on demand from within your editor or by pre-calling it in your $editor command (which might be a wrapper). Before anyone says "gee, these other mail programs do all of this for me and I don't have to set this stuff or call external programs" I'll reply in advance with "don't bother". It's a Good Thing that mutt calls external programs to do its work; you have a choice. It's a Good Thing that mutt has lots of settings; you have incredible configuration capability. % % > does doing :set pgp_outlook_compat? or whatever the option is work? is % > the option mentioned in the muttrc (5) man page? i build from source on % > my mail machine, but on a woody machine at work the pgp_outlook_compat % > option is mentioned already. % % You're not going to believe this, but I just dist-upgraded and 1.3.24i % was provided. So I upgraded and it already has pgp_outlook_compat. :-$ How nice. Enjoy! Here's where the old patchlist.c data would be handy.
