I use emacs as my editor for composing email with mutt, the mode I use is a local hack that derives from `mail-mode' (some of the code in question made it into post.el <URL:http://astro.utoronto.ca/~reid/mutt/>). I've never had a problem with M-q and "normally" quoted text and, on the very rare occasion that I do have a problem, I use `set-fill-prefix' (C-x .) to give the filling code a clue. -- Dave Pearson: | lbdb.el - LBDB interface. http://www.davep.org/ | sawfish.el - Sawfish mode.
