I would like to see an option to support quoting a message with the extra
space, rather than just displaying it this way. There was an old patch
(stuff_all_quoted) which did this, though I don't know if it will play
nice with the new code for displaying / quoting flowed text.
Currently, even if the body of a flowed message looks like this when
viewing in the editor:
{{{
>> blahblah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
>
> blargh asdfb basdfadsf
>
here is some text
}}}
mutt will quote it like:
{{{
> >>blahblah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
> >
> >blargh asdfb basdfadsf
> >
>
> here is some text
}}}
At least for the stuff that mutt can tell for sure *is* quoted material
(based on the message being format-flowed and the quote markers being
formatted properly), I think it makes sense to quote this more neatly and
at least add a space to the outer edge, so that the previous example would
become:
{{{
> >> blahblah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
> >
> > blargh asdfb basdfadsf
> >
>
> here is some text
}}}
In my reading of 2346 (which may be flawed), I think that should be
perfectly Ok, and that (assuming the flowed message is formatted
correctly), it should be possible for mutt to know which text is quoted
and which text isn't.
I'll attach Gary's patch to this.
