  You really should use a right angle bracket (>). It is standard
  across e-mail clients and operation systems.

Quoting when replying to this message is good for your karma.

Is the glass half empty, half full, or twice as large as it needs to
be?

Thanks but I'm asking about TB's macro's rather than about standards
for reply prefixing.

Which is what I'd expect

The %Wrapped macro only wraps the first paragraph of the text that is fed to
it. What you really need is Januk Aggarwal's "ReWrap" QT from the Macro and QT
repository at http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/Library.html.

Make sure you use the V2 macro and I think you would need to use something
like:

   %_Wrap_Text="%QInclude(your_QT)"%-
   %_Wrap_Limit="70"%-
   %Prefix(": ",%QInclude(wrap))%-

It isn't a macro. %_Wrap_Text and %_Wrap_Limit are variables that are used by
Januk's wrap QT. %_Wrap_Text is the text that is to be wrapped (in this case
the output from your QT, and %_Wrap_Limit is the maximum line length after
wrapping. I put in a suggested value of 70, because after you have prepended
": " it will still give a line length of no more than 72.

Note that you will almost certainly need a non-wrapping version of this. You
could not, for instance, have made a satisfactory quote by wrapping the
earlier message of mine (prefixed RA>> above).
