      MSGID: 1:153/7001.2989 6739482b       CHRS: UTF-8 4       Hey Nicholas!               NB> Once I noticed that 'gq' will not only wrap a long line, but will         NB> also automatically insert the quote character at the beginning of         NB> every line that was wrapped              I am sure that is what mutt does which is what I use for email. I used to use       pine back in the Triassic, whose default editor was pico, which is the       grandfather to nano. I believe it used the same strategy for quoting as vim.        To be honest I prefer the fold/sed quoting seen above which it far more       fido-ish as well as bashist as any old hack in-the-know will verify I am sure.               NB> +mouse_gpm              I would (and do) turn that off using the --disable-gpm to vim's configure.        Same with in mc (mcedit). That way cutting and pasting from other consoles is       vastly more usable. vim doesn't need no stinkin' mouse.               NB> Ooh, neat-o!              For sure. For creating manpages or info files it is a godsend. As a bonus it       works great for dumping information straight into a msg like thus;               |
