You can use gq} (at least in vim...). That will wrap a paragraph, however, with quoted text (i.e., no spaces between each set of quote characters) it will wrap the entire message. gqG does the entire message. I also have the following map in my .vimrc which does the same, but stops at sig lines: omap F /^-- /<CR> You can then use gqF to wrap up until the sig lines. - jim -- jim mock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://soupnazi.org/ | [EMAIL PROTECTED]
