So How can it be done using Mail-mode? One of the more powerful ways is by using the super-cite package, which seems to be part of the standard Emacs distribution and has its own manual. If what you want is easily derivable from what mail-mode already does, it might be easier to advice the mail-yank-original function to do your standard edits automatically. I haven't used rmail in at least ten years, so I can't suggest exact recipes, but it shouldn't be too hard to work out. - Lowell
