Hi,
Newbie questions:
Problem 1:
----------
I just began using gnus but sometimes I would like to
copy some text and then paste it as a quotation...
Like: If I copy paste this (too long line):
"ASDFASDF KAFLKJAKEJ RKALWEKLJAKKAS ASDFASDFKA FLKJAKEJR ASDFASDF KAFLKJAKEJ RKALWEKLJAKKAS ASDFASDFKA FLKJAKEJR"
Then it should either become something like (with an extra ">" in front):
> "ASDFASDF KAFLKJAKEJ RKALWEKLJAKKAS ASDFASDFKA FLKJAKEJR ASDFASDF KAFLKJAKEJ RKALWEKLJAKKAS ASDFASDFKA FLKJAKEJR"
Or perhaps it should split up the line and insert ">" on each line?
> "ASDFASDF KAFLKJAKEJ RKALWEKLJAKKAS ASDFASDFKA FLKJAKEJR ASDFASDF
> KAFLKJAKEJ RKALWEKLJAKKAS ASDFASDFKA FLKJAKEJR"
Problem 2:
----------
Sometimes gnus doesn't get all the messages in the thread even though I
type "A T". I have a .gnus file with:
(setq gnus-fetch-old-headers 'some) ;; complete subthreads
Therefore sometimes I just type "^" on top of the posting that I want to
"follow"... I'm not really sure which of the old messages it shows me,
but I like how it's done in my old news-client:
1) Don't show anything at all, *except*
2) If there are new messages, then show only
3) all of the postings in that particular thread (both new and old)...
I don't think (setq gnus-fetch-old-headers 'some) solves my problem as
sometimes I would have to type ^ to see what an author replied to...
Best regards
Martin Jørgensen

That just makes: „ „ „ „ ? Did I disable / have to enable something? I'm
using aquamacs emacs...

Ok, I knew about that one thanks... I later found out something pretty
awkward:
To quote manually
1- Mark the region, or the entire text with
M-x mark-whole-buffer C-x h
2- Add the "> " using the rectangle command
M-x string-rectangle C-x r t
3- Set the fill prefix by moving past the prefix and
M-x set-fill-prefix C-x .
4- Filling paragraphs using
M-x fill-paragraph
Best regards

Hmm. Looks like my meta-key was turned off or something...
