Quoted Text in Email

[ #7628 ]

What do you use to quote text? Have code to show me?

Also, what do you use in your MUA to catch quoted strings? Have a regex or Emacs LISP?

  • supercite, of course!

    (setq sc-preferred-attribution-list
      (list "x-attribution" "initials" "sc-lastchoice" "firstname" "lastname"))
    (setq sc-citation-leader "") ;; smaller lead space
  • I let Mutt take care of my quoting, and before I used Mutt, I would let Eudora and/or Pine do the quoting.

    As to recognizing quoted material, I use this:

    set quote_regexp   = "^ *[:>]+ "
    which is tweaked a bit from whatever the stock Mutt config was.

  • Mutt takes care of most of it. And for those nastily formatted emails that have been through other email clients there's always Damian's Text::Autoformat which is invoked from vi with this entry in my .exrc.

    map f !Gperl -MText::Autoformat -eautoformat

    (that's taken straight from the Text::Autoformat docs - I didn't think of it myself)
