I have the following in my .login (I broke this up so it would mail
properly - remove all linebreaks):

setenv EXINIT 'set redraw noslow beautify open wm=8 report=2 shell=/bin/csh
|map * {!}fmt
|map v :1,$s/^/>/
|map q :r ~/.net.signature

The first map lets me hit "*" from anywhere in a paragraph, and the
whole paragraph will be reformatted.  I use this so often, it's a real
bother when I'm working with somebody else who doesn't have this set up!
The second map is for quoting the article you're responding to on news,
and the last is because we don't have anything that automatically
appends a signature file.

Hope this helps...
