gnus-summary-reply-with-original in 5.9.0 and current CVS?

[Pavel Janík]

Hi,

when trying to use gnus-summary-reply-with-original (R) in the summary
buffer, I see a minor inconsistency in Emacs' 21 Gnus 5.9.0 and the current
CVS version when I'd like to cite previous mail which also contained
citation. I have

 '(message-yank-prefix "   > " t)

in my customized variables so the Prefix should be three spaces, character
`>' and another space.

I have one e-mail and pressed R in the summary buffer in 5.9.0 and its
behavior is correct - you can see it on
http://www.janik.cz/tmp/gnus-orig.png. However, CVS Gnus will prepare an
article buffer which will contain differently cited e-mail. You can see it
on http://www.janik.cz/tmp/gnus-cvs.png. The article buffer will look like:

The last two lines contain cited citation on the previous mail but in 5.9.0
it will look like:

Which is what I want... I have removed all of my citation specific code
from my ~/.gnus so there is nothing which can cause it, but there is a lot
of variables in customized variables... But note that 5.9.0 with same
customized variables and same .gnus will work correctly.

There was a recent change in Oort w.r.t. citation lines.  The new
behavior is intended.  It appears that it is general use to say that
level-1 citations should be prefixed "> ", level-2 citations should be
prefixed ">> " and not "> > ".

Maybe there should be a variable to customize the behavior?

There is now a separate variable for prefixing already-cited lines.
Set message-yank-cited-prefix to the same value as message-yank-prefix
to get the old behavior.

thank you very much fro your reply. In my opinion, it should default to
message-yank-prefix to get the previous behavior.

See `message-yank-cited-prefix'.  Maybe one of these should, by
default, be derived from the other?
