For reply with quoting, you're absolutely right. I can comment-out the
two macros for RWQ and list-RWQ and get the exact thing I get with them.
So I'll get rid of them. (And thanks for your prodding.) I think when
I set them long ago, the cursor wasn't placing itself where I wanted it,
and instead of fixing that correctly, I wrote a quick macro to be done with
it, since that was what I knew how to do (incorectly, as it turns out, but
enough to get them to work). It was a quick fix.
There may also, for all I know, be a one-keypress solution for reply with
*no* quoting, but until I find out what it is, I'll leave my macros for
that in place.

No, that's fine -- I appreciate it.
