Remove the blank line at start of reply

Remove the blank line at start of reply

[Nicolas KOWALSKI]

Hello,

When I reply to a mail, the body starts with the citation of the
owner+date+something, then there is an empty line, then the quoted
original text.

Is there a way to remove the empty line ?

Thanks,

You can do it customizing the message-insert-citation-line function. You
can use the one that comes with emacs as a reference.

Ok. 

I now use the following (removed one final newline in the original
function); this works well:

;;
;; Function used for citation
;;
(defun niko-message-insert-citation-line ()
  "Insert a simple citation line."
  (when message-reply-headers
    (insert (mail-header-from message-reply-headers) " writes:")
    (newline)))

(setq message-citation-line-function 'niko-message-insert-citation-line)


Thanks for your tip,
