Hey Nick!

 NB> here is a test with nano and the "set fill 72" option set in 
 NB> .nanorc.

It looks great from this angle.  From this perspective the result looks the same output as 
  fold -s -w 69 | sed 's/^/ > /'
produces.  I may switch to that output very soon with or without mutt.

 NB> the spaces at the end of the lines are included (to keep flowed 
 NB> text in tact), and in a quote this may not be wanted.

And then again maybe it is given it makes it far easier to reconstruct the original posted text, including lines, paragraphs, and the such.  It looks to be a keeper.

 NB> if it wraps the quoted text nicely then we may be on to something 
 NB> here!

It looks that way to me.  I'll definetly get back to you on this once I get a chance to compare outputs between nano and a properly scripted (bash) fold/sed quotes.  So far I like what I see in this post -> "@MSGID: 233.tuxpower@1:154/700 2bb4e7ca".

Life is good,
Maurice
