Subject: Suggestion to developers:

When I use the JUSTIFY-command for quoted text, it goes well, ie:

> word1
> word2
> word3

becomes to:

> word1 word2 word3

But when using the justify-command for multiple times quoted text, ie:

> > > word1
> > > word2
> > > word3

It doesn't become out so well..

So: I would suggest, that the text in previous example could be justified
as:

> > > word1 word2 word3

(Or perhaps even to: >>> word1 word2 word3 )

Yeah, I also really like the ability to requote the text by JUSITY and I
also would like to see enchancements in it. If example if the document has
been already quoted using "> " and then when I try reply it it is also
additonally quoted by "->". The final result of trying to apply the Ctrl-J
is pretty disappointing.. perhaps the the justify funtion should look what
the reply-indent-string is setup to to determine what the nonstandard
quote might look like.

Thanks,
Adam

I still can't understand why Pine can't word wrap the reply already done
when we enter Pico - which then properly would support all kinds of 3rd
party editors.

I would further like to see a way to specify the "quote prefix" appended
to all lines. It should of course be able to use parts of the From:
field.

Said before: I have a word wrap filter that works a *lot* better than the
one Pine uses when we press control-j. If such a one can't' be used
internally in Pine, I sure would like a config way to specify my filter
program to do the wrap and quote-prefix-appending before inserted in the
reply editing editor.

Of course I'd offer that little program to anyone if that feature was
added to Pine.

Following-up here, I come back to a posting of mine a few weeks ago.  This 
justifying unfortunately works only as long as one is in the REPLY mode of
the internal editor.  If I postpone a reply, and continue it later, the 
editor is NOT in reply mode.  Two things happen then:  The Ctrl-J does not 
work for quoted text at all anymore, above example results in:

> word1 > word2 > word3

and, which is not so annoying, the mail I replied to, does not get the "A" 
flag for an answered mail.  I understand that this flag is difficult to 
get in this case, but one should be able to send the editor manually into
REPLY mode, by a certain key combination.

This would also be useful when editing text while forwarding mail, if the 
forwarded text includes quoted parts.

Comments?  What do the developers think?

Very good point!

But there's also need for doing the justification later, e.g. after deleting
some sentences from the quoted text, one could re-justify the stuff...

But it would alredy be of great advantage to run the justification before
entring the editor in a reply!!!

All the best,
