What controls the initial position of the cursor when doing a reply and
yank?
Seems an odd place to leave it - can I put it at the end of the quoted
material?

I suggest you have "one behaviour for some groups, a different
behaviour for others". It depends on the common style of the group,
not whether it is "news" or "mail". For example, many news groups are
echoed to a mailing list, but that doesn't affect the common style.

Maybe there's a way to set this with posting styles? If not, perhaps
there should be?

Kai, your energy is quite something. Or can you just write code like
that off the top of your head without the need to check? ;-)
Thanks for that, though having learnt some new commands, I really ought
to practice what I preach, and try and learn the default way of doing
things first before I dive in and customise...
