I tend to use 'gq}' to wrap entire paragraphs (or 'gqip' if I'm inside the paragraph in question), but each to their own. >This wraps lines nicely to the right length (set with ':set >textwidth=72').

Something like 'au FileType mail set textwidth=72' in your .vimrc is nice to have - that does require vim-rt, but you've got that anyway, right? :) >I just haven't figured out how to "replace" the powerquote >(like "sven> ") with plain '>'s if that can easily be done... My .vimrc has a macro stolen from /usr/share/doc/vim/examples/mail: " ,kpq kill SuperCite (aka PowerQuote) quote (replacing it by `>') map ,kpq :%s/^> *[a-zA-Z]*>/> >/<C-M> Season to taste depending on whether you use '>' or '> ' as your quote prefix. I found 'set comments' in vim the other day, too. It makes editing Debian changelogs, and other things formatted as bullet-point lists, so much more pleasant. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
