message-fill-column & replies

[Saša Janiška]

Hello,

after some time I'm back to Gnus but have a problem which I do not
recall from the past...

When I reply to some message, Gnus adds '>' quoting char in the front of
quoted paragraph(s), but the problem is that the original message which
was wrapped at 79th column, now extends to 81 and I have to manually
reflow each quoted paragraph?

The value for message-fill-column is 72.

What do I miss?


Sincerely,
Gour

You might automate it by checking inside gnus-message-setup-hook for
gnus-article-reply and then doing a fill-region between
mail-header-separator and end of buffer (or message-signature-separator).

If I want a quote re-filled, I just use M-q with point anywhere within
it.

Sometimes it is nice to not have it done automatically, if the quote
contains an ascii drawing, or similar.

Indeed - I do it manually (`M-q') as well. It is
super-fast actually and besides it is often the case
that you don't want to cite the entire message. So you
want to mess around with it just the same - kill some
lines, for examples, almost always. So it is not a bad
thing to be active with the material in this way!

Thanks for the tip - it is better than 'vjgq' (I use Spacemacs with
vim's way to reflow)...although I still believe I was not doing it in
the past...well, maybe we're getting older. :-)
