Arghh. There are two followup commands in rn; f and F. f enters an editor of your choice with the article in the buffer, F does the same, but with the original article included as well. There is an rn option variable to determine how to mark the quoted text (e.g "> "). As for the question about what editor to use, it may seem silly, but the day you want to answer something other than return on that question, you'll probably appreciate it. As a principle, question asking in programs should be kept at a minimum, though. { decvax, philabs } mcvax ! enea ! ttds ! arndt
