Subject: An Unusual need for a reply-leadin

Hi,

I have a request from one of my users who has fairly severe
limitations on hand movement as well as vision that I seem unable to
fulfill.  In earlier versions of pine, when one hit reply, the cursor
was positioned below the dashed line dividing the message from the
headers, then there were a couple of blank lines, and then the
included message.  In recent times, this behavior has changed
slightly.  Assuming no role is defined, there is no longer any
vertical space between the cursor, and the beginning of the included
message.  For disability reasons that are complicated to explain, what
she needs to best work with her mail is the old behavior.  She need
the cursor placed just below the dashed line, 2 blank lines, and then
the included text.  I have to believe there is a way to do this, but I
am certainly at a loss.  I have looked closely at the reply-leadin
variable, but see no obvious way to embed blank lines in it.  First I
thought perhaps a role wiht a template file, no dice, it places the
cursor below the blank lines.  Your wisdom would be deeply
appreciated.  TIA

-Len

You could try putting the signature at the top (like mine) and embedding
your blank lines in the top of that.  I think you just need to uncheck
signature-at-bottom in Pine's config.  Although my sig has no blank lines
at the beginning and I still get two lines before it starts, whether or
not I'm using roles.
