The emailprogram that I currently use has also support for regular
expressions. I think that %REGEXPQUOTES is the same as the option
``quote_regexp'' with my mailer.
This is what it means: (from the manual)
: A regular expression used in the internal-pager to determine quoted
: sections of text in the body of a message.
The default setting for this option is "^([ \t]*[>|#:}])+". This means:
- Zero or more spaces/tabs (tab, space, tab, tab is valid);
- Followed by the symbol >, |, #, : or }
- And the 2 lines above will be matched one or more times
Note that this default does not match the use of names before the
quote-character (like ``HAVOK> Paula> Andrew> ''). Using this example
you can easily test if The Bat! %REGEXPQUOTES is the same as my
quote_regexp.
(I have changed quote_regexp to "^([ \t]*[a-zA-Z]*[>#|])+".)
Hope this helps.
Cya,
Olav
