Minor suggestion on message-citation-line-format

[Leo]

Hi all,

Would it be possible not to add an extra blank line between the
citation line and the cited message by customizing
message-citation-line-format? Like the following example:

Well, we could require a trailing "\n" to have the current state.  But
it would be an incompatible change (one year after it's introduction)
for all users that have changed `message-citation-line-format'.  As No
Gnus is no stable release, we could do this, though.

But there's an alternative solution for you:

(setq message-citation-line-function
      (lambda ()
	(message-insert-formated-citation-line)
	(delete-backward-char 1)))

Hm, I looked at some other postings and saw several postings where the
blank line is missing.  I won't object to remove one hard-coded
`newline' in `message-insert-formated-citation-line' and add "\n" to
the default of `message-citation-line-format'.  Opinions?

Bye, Reiner.

I loathe those blank lines, so I won't object if you make them easier to
remove... :-)
