lynx-dev more on Fiber McGee's forwarding

[Henry Nelson]

Don't get me wrong; even if nothing changes I still very much appreciate the
service sig.net and the people behind the scenes are doing.  Nevertheless,
if there is an easy way to make things better, then it's worth mentioning.

First, is it possible to NOT quote with a ">" at the beginning of each
line?  Having every line begin with ">" makes it particularly difficult to
determine what the originator of the forwarded message said and what he
quoted.

Also, I agree with David that it would be better if the message were
simply re-routed in the raw, so that at least the From: header remains
that of the original poster.

To give an example the, following:

would look something like:

    It does even fix the keyboard issue under Win2k, and has no seen

Apologies to T. Hataguchi and T. Glaser for using their posts as an example.
