I use emacs for editing source code and almost all other tasks, but I haven't been able to switch to using it as my mail/usenet editor because I've never been able to find the command in mail-mode or message-mode to increase/decrease the quote level for a block of text. My fingers are programmed to do "ctrl-C >" and "ctrl-C <" to increase/decrease indentation/quoting, but that doesn't work. Nor does there appear to be anything under the mail/message menus. I've tried all the command names I can think of but auto-complete never finds anything. I must be missing something obvious. In mail or message mode, how do you increase/decrease the quote level of a region? -- Grant
