Quoted Text in Email

What do you use to quote text? Have code to show me?

Also, what do you use in your MUA to catch quoted strings? Have a regex or Emacs LISP?

supercite, of course!

(setq sc-citation-leader "") ;; smaller lead space

Quoting

I let Mutt take care of my quoting, and before I used Mutt, I would let Eudora and/or Pine do the quoting.

As to recognizing quoted material, I use this:

set quote_regexp   = "^ *[:>]+ "

which is tweaked a bit from whatever the stock Mutt config was.

Mutt and Perl

Mutt takes care of most of it. And for those nastily formatted emails that have been through other email clients there's always Damian's Text::Autoformat which is invoked from vi with this entry in my .exrc.

map f !Gperl -MText::Autoformat -eautoformat

(that's taken straight from the Text::Autoformat docs - I didn't think of it myself)
