subject: Wordwrap problem

From: lists@alquds.demon.co.uk (Shakib Otaqui)
 I have a problem with an unwelcome interaction between two 
 configuration features, trailing whitespace and sticky 
 autoindent, which are preventing my wordwrap macro from working 
 properly.
 I've configured the copy of the editor (2.0) which I use for 
 email and Usenet posts not to strip whitespace, for the sole 
 purpose of preserving the space in the "-- " sig line separator; 
 there are nerds out there who'll jump on you with both feet for 
 ignoring this convention.  But with my preferred sticky 
 autoindent set, the blank line between paragraphs ends up with 
 at least one space on it, which defeats wordwrap.  If I don't 
 remember to delete the line then insert a truly blank one, using 
 the wrappara command either doesn't work or wraps the whole 
 file, making a mess of quoted matter at the top of the message.
 
 Is there an elegant way to get round this interaction?
