OK, sorry about that, I didn't express myself properly. What I meant
was not "Yanking" the message but "filling". Here is what I mean. When
I write a post, the post itself is not wrapped, so when I'm finished,
I press "C-c C-q" and that wraps the post. However, it also wraps the
signature, as in this screenshot:
http://maxqnz.com/screenshots/gnuswrap.png What I'm looking for is how
to wrap the message I'm posting without affecting my signature.
Thanks for the welcome, and believe me, I am making myself very
familar with the manual. I have a copy on my hard drive and am
working through it. I do hope you're not implying that one ought
not ask in here if one gets stuck on something. I do try to RTFM,
which seems to be what you are politely telling me to do. I also
Google my questions before asking, so I hope that you will not feel it
necessary to redirect my attention to the manual each time I ask a
question in here.
