Using M-q is working but maybe now I'm making confusion of few things possibly because of aioe.org, quoted printable and other factors. Quoting the line from the example above (testing in fr.test btw) it goes yet to a new line. Is it because of quoted-printable? Lookin at the message the non ascii accented vowels I'm quoting are transformed like "=C3=A9". Seems like gnus reformat counting the chars and not those representations, am I wrong? Shoud I disable quoted-printable anyway? >> Another question, I see ther's control and meta keys but what's the >> sequence to "W w" and the likes? > > There are no modifiers for these.

I'll try again then.
