Subject: question about PICO editor (used with ELM mailer)

Hello,
 
I use ELM in combination with PICO as my editor.
I prefer using all this simple ASCII stuff to anything
'more contemprorary'.

However, for a long time I have been living with the
following problem:

How to get rid of long attachments (from the
original postings to me) that stick to my reply.

The problem is that those (MIME) attachments
stick to my reply as ascii text.
On the other hand, PICO does not seem to provide
a command where I can select the whole piece of
text 'onwards till the EOF', which I could then
delete at one stroke.

So, basically the question is:

[either] how to avoid attachments to be automatically
added to the text of the message edited for reply
[this is of course concerned to ELM rather than PICO]

(or at least) how to reach the end of file in PICO without
scrolling through pages with ^V

Any help is much appreciated.

^6 (mark set)
^w (search)
^v (eobuffer)
^k (kill)

If it wasn't for C, we would be using BASI, PASAL and OBOL!
