Well, can you correct this strange formatting before you whack the Send
button or not? (That question must have gotten lost in the previous jumble)

Hehe, I'm sure it sees some logic in there that mortals don't. And it rings
a bell. Assuming you've been through the Handbook and FAQ, have you tried
searching the -questions archives for similar problems? I find error
messages are good value; they give something to search for when nothing else
makes sense.

It adds "> " to the beginning of each line. Then it can either leave it as
is, or reformat it to shorter lines. It has the ability to remember how many
quote marks to put back at the beginning of each line after reformatting,
and adds the same number to any extra lines of text that are produced.
It is nice, yes. For now you might need to do that part manually.
