Re: Patch to allow quotes showing on *remember*

[Carsten Dominik <carsten.dominik@gmail.com>]

Hi Hugo,

I see now what you mean, and I have no objections to remove comment

However, I believe that Sacha's idea it terrible and completely  
orthogonal to the idea of remember, which was written to *minimize*  
distraction :-)

Anyway, I will add your patch.
