Gnus: How to get properly quoted messages in replies?

[Marius Hofert <marius.hofert@math.ethz.ch>]

Hi,

If I reply to a message in Gnus via "R", I see the quoted text I got sent, so for example:

> foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar 
> foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar interesting bar foo bar foo bar foo bar 
> foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar 
> foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar 
 
Now assume you want to address precisely the word "interesting". Then you most likely want to navigate right to the end of this word and hit enter to create some space to answer. What you expect is something like this (or even a correctly "filled" version of that):

> foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar 
> foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar interesting 
> bar foo bar foo bar foo bar 
> foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar 
> foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar 

But what I get is:

> foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar 
> foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar interesting
bar foo bar foo bar foo bar 
> foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar 
> foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar foo bar 

This is quite annoying since I first have to navigate to the beginning of the line "bar foo…" and insert a ">" in order to make it clear that this is not some text I wrote.

Is there any way to solve that?

Cheers,

Marius
