problem with citiation prefix

problem with citiation prefix

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello 

I have set

`message-yank-prefix' to

Value: " > "

 `message-yank-cited-prefix'

Value: " > "

Nevertheless when replying to a article in gnus the citation appear
like
>hall
instead of 
 > hall
and
>>and I said
instead of 
 > >  and I said

What is wrong in my setting?

Thanks

Yeah Adrian told me about it, it just does not work for me.
Maybe I try it again. It seems also a little unflexible that is 
you can't delete several levels, just all or nothing

This is what I try  desperately to achieve in  the last days, I want a
flexible way of  manipulation quoted text, and  most  of the times  to
delete various levels of citations. But how, supercite was pointed out
to me (setting sc-nested-citation-p to t) but this does not work.

VM comes with a nice function to delete layers of citation (2th 3rd)
etc, but seems not to work in gnus (as said before I even can not
configure the yank prefix, ie gnus ignore my setting)

Maybe, because the [snip] is part of 'C-c C-e' along with a personal
customisation of the elide replacement?

norbert.
