Subject: Knitting a Paragraph?

Is there a way in PINE to reformat paragraphs that you haev edited and
messed up the line wraps on?  I used to use ELM and I think it had
this feature, but if I am not mistaken, it used the stripped down
emacs editor, so it was more likely a feature of the latter than the
former.  With all of PINE's features, it seems like it oughtta do it,
but it escapes me how to get it done.  Thanks

Nope... but you can invoke another editor (see Setup, Config). *really*
*smart people use joe, really* weird people use vim (Huhu, Sven!) or another
*monster. If you know elm, you'll probably like jmacs (joe in emcas mode...
*but not Eight Megs And Constantly Swapping).

	JOE is available over the Internet by  anonymous
	FTP from ftp.std.com, file: src/editors/joe*.tar.Z.

Enjoy.

Cheers,
Robin
