   Yes, if one issue got better, another one got worse. :)

   Yeah, then at that point I don't think it matters what the newly written text   
   looks like.

   Yeah right. :D

   So does tin, you can specify the 'quote prefix' to use, and %I is a code for   
   initials, so _%I>_ does the trick. When I use tin I use "smartquote=off".   
   However, I just noticed that when tin actually does fit text to the screen   
   size, it doesn't wrap at word boundaries. So it will wrap right in the middle   
   of a word. Ugh. I don't think there is light at the end of the tunnel any time   
   soon.   
      
   Then slrn doesn't have support for initials, but does wrap at word boundaries.   
   So as of right now slrn with "smartquote=on" is looking better and better as   
   far as a console newsreader goes. Neither one really compares to Thunderbird,   
   though. ;)   
      
   Regards,

   ... Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
