That can be cured, though. In vi (vim), I use the key-combination 'gqj'. This wraps lines nicely to the right length (set with ':set textwidth=72'). It even re-arranges the quote '>' characters nicely. I don't know whether this requires "vim-rt". I just haven't figured out how to "replace" the powerquote (like "sven> ") with plain '>'s if that can easily be done... Sven
