Hello Alto,

Well, this is because quote handling and reformatting suitable for line-oriented
plain text editor. Paragraph-oriented editor can provide some similar
functionality if it provides rich text editing, but if output is plain text, we
have problems when storing a message as a draft and then open it for editing
later - plain text does not store rich text formatting.

Do they provide quote handling and reflowing the same way MicroEd does?

Each line in MicroEd ends with hard linefeed, MicroEd does not know anything
about soft linefeeds. So a paragraph in MicroEd is a set of lines delimited by
two empty lines. This is what "line-oriented" means.

I have an idea how to make MicroEd using soft linefeeds and keep its existing
features, but this requires writing a new editor, which is obviously not a one
day/week/month hard job. I hope it will be done at last, but don't know when.
