Subject: Re: How do I change the Reply-line?

The other day I've asked:

 | How can I change the reply-line?

I read another news-message after it, in which somebody (forgotten who) 
explained how to change the quote-symbols (e.g. " | " insetad of "> ").

I realised this would also solve MY problem. I wrote a Gofer-program that 
can be treated as an alternative editor (by the command ^_). When you
immediately start it after you gave the command 'R' (Reply), then it 
transforms your reply-message. After that you return in the standard 
pine-editor, and proceed replying.

When the e-mail looked this way:

The program transforms it into:

------------------------------------------
Hi Edward Davidson, you said:

 | Hi Koen,
 | How are you?
 |
 | Regards, Edward
------------------------------------------

I made the "Hi ", ",you said:" and the " | " variables.

Does anyone wants to have it? It is a Gofer-program, so you will need a 
Gofer-compiler or interpreter.

Regards,
Koen

Hi!

Start an editor (i. e. pico), read the file .newsrc and delete all lines 
(groups) you don't want to subscribe (don't forget the backup that file) 
and save the .newsrc after changing

OR

use the 'D'-Command (unsubscribe) in the pine-folder-list.

Now you have a shorter Grouplist.

hopoe ist helps, for more questions e-mail me.
