Hello Frank,

first let me explain you subject didn't say ANYTHING to me ... I think it
would be better to choose one similar to the one I changed it to next time.

In fact it does. '%WRAPPED' wraps the given text (the argument) at the
position you've set up in your editor settings.

Not only wrapping, but much more quote coloring. I've set a limit of 6 for
quoting sign recognition. This means: if a line starts with a character
different from white space and there's a 'greater than' character within
the first 6 characters this line is treated as 'quotation'.
Using the above example every line of quotation you send would not be
recognized over here, as 'greater than' is the 17th character.

I'd suggest you use 'Initials' as quoting prefix, if any. They're usually
short, concise and most the time within even a small prefix-limitation.
Additionally they make clear who wrote what as good as full names, except
some _VERY_ rare situations.

This should be <dash><dash><space><enter> to be a recognizable signature
delimiter. PGP will change it to '- --', but this will be caught by the
reply macro me (and several others) use too. A single period OTOH will
presumably never be automatically treated as cut indicator.
