As for including text from another message in my replies, i just use emacs' include file command and edit from there, though there are ways to have replcomps include the message being replied to. Hope this helps. v. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ARPA: khera@cs.duke.edu Department of Computer Science CSNET: khera@duke Duke University UUCP: decvax!duke!khera Durham, NC 27706
