Here in Japan, most mails are written in ISO-2022-JP though
`Q' doesn't do code translating (to UTF).  I felt awkward
to write C-codes to solve this.  I just favour rc scripting.

Oh, and I think 3rd acme/mail didn't have `Q' reply, did it?

i have a trio of commands i use for this sort of thing, quote (similar
to dmr's mindent); and a+, and a- which add or remove an arbitrary string
from the start of lines (default tab).

i find the short names useful to avoid filling up the already crowded
acme tag space.

it seems to me that mail system could look for a "Charset:" or
"Content-Type" header on the outgoing mail and translate from utf-8
accordingly, much as it does for "Attach:" headers in acme.

  cheers,

I'm using 4ed acme/mail for ISO-2022-JP.
However, I've been getting tired to catch up with the operating system
where only the OS is there, no effective applications...

So, how about to open a small comunity to use UTF-8 mail
also in Japan.  :-)  冗談だと思う、たぶん

Q is new, but I have until now been happily using my
/bin/mindent:

   #!/bin/rc
   sed 's/^./ > &/'

by executing |mindent after selecting.  Q indeed
shortcuts the process.  Doesn't help with
translation, of course.

I have a trivial `Include:' script.

	term% cat /bin/Include:
	#!/bin/rc
	echo
	sed -e '1,/^$/d' -e 's/^/> /' < $1
	exit

and execute the line `Include: /mail/fs/mbox/9/raw',
sometimes adding a `|' to the head.

Check out the change to Mail that Rob posted to sources earlier.
It works great, and much faster/easier than any pervious methods
of partial quoting.

That shouldn't be too hard.  I may take a crack at it if I get some time.

I want to add a feature to 'Q' reply so that if there is some text
selected in the buffer, only that part would be quoted.  Any reason
not to do this?  I've just started looking at the sources
(/acme/mail/src).  Is this a major change?
