[comp.mail.elm] return prefix

s887212@minyos.xx.rmit.oz.au (Stephen Riehm [Romulis]) (10/31/90)

is there a way to tell elm to include trailing spaces in the prefix used
to put in front of mail being replied to?
at the moment I have a boring > but I can't seem to make elm recognise any
trailing spaces that are on the prefix line after this (or any other)
character...

int hints, clues, ideas, manuals?

thanx in advance

	In my ~/.elm/elmrc I have the following line, which works:

		prefix = -_

	From what I can tell, the underscore ("_") is used to indicate a
space, since a space is a delimiter..
