blank lines before signature and replying

blank lines before signature and replying

[Jack Vinson]

Is there a new variable which controls whether trailing blank lines are
removed before the signature is inserted into a document with C-c C-w?  I
know we recently changed the behavior, but I didn't notice whether there
was a variable.  If not, I'd like one.  Anyone else?

Why do we get the *gnus article copy* buffer when replying to a message?
I'd much rather get the *Article* buffer, so that I could pop to it and hit
SPACE or DEL to scroll through the article.  It also keeps me from adding
extra characters to the *gnus article copy* buffer.  Is this simply another
configuration thingy?

There is no variable to customize this.

Nope; Emacs mail handlers usually display the buffer being replied
to.  And the *Article* buffer isn't being replied to; the copy buffer
is.
