Yank & cite & fill

Yank & cite & fill

[Ketil Z Malde]

Hi,

Upgrading to latest from an archaic 0.38 or so.  Now, I seem to have
lost SuperCite.  No big deal, I don't really like it that much either.

But:  I auto-fill articles in the *Article*-buffer, so when I follow up,
I want to set fill-column to 72 (through message-prepare-hook or
whatever).  Then when I yank, I want to do a cite followed by a fill.

Now, citing works fine, inserting a > in front of every line, but when
filling (which I have to do by hand C-c C-q it seems, I couldn't find a
hook or anything), everything gets wrapped into one large compact block
of text.  Could I either have the fill-function separate blocks, or,
preferably, I think, have message-cite-original *not* cite blank lines?

I've read docs and source but without finding any such functionality.
Uh..help?

In 0.78 `fill-prefix' will be bound to `message-yank-prefix', which
should help, I think.

I like filladapt mode.  To use it add
(autoload 'turn-on-filladapt-mode "filladapt" nil t)
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'turn-on-filladapt-mode)
to your initialization.

filladapt.el is not included with Emacs 19.30, but the version
supplied with XEmacs 19.13 will work.

If you want it back:
(setq message-cite-function 'sc-cite-original)

hth,
