Thanks. I'm surprised there's no better way. I can't get used to
watching my spaces at the end of equation lines, so I think I'll go
for formatoptions=tcqw and then make a binding to gwap that I can hit
occasionally.

Ummm, people *like* bottom-post.
Once I see a top-poster's text come to an end, then the "On ,

reading. If that means I don't have any context as to what you were
