I'm using Rmail in emacs. To reply to a message, I enter "r." To quote
the original message, I enter c-c c-y. According to info, the original
message should be quoted with the value of mail-yank-prefix.
So I try:
(set mail-yank-prefix '>)
But it has no effect on the behavior of c-c c-y, except that it generates
the error message "Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p."
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
rb

You are setting the value to the symbol > istead of to a string. try
">" instead. You should also use `setq' instead of `set'.
