Please use postfix quoting format: your reply goes below the material cited. Trim your quotes appropriately and ensure your attributions are accurate. Thank you. $a<return> You can also start a new line with 'o'. With "wrapmargin" or (better, but only supported in vim AFAIK) "textwidth" set, the wrapping occurs automagically. You can reflow paragraphs (or other regions of text) with "gqip" or "gq<movement indicator>" Peace. -- Karsten M.
