- The (f)orward command includes the headers, so doesn't do what I am
- suggesting. My request is to make things *easier* for the user, not
- to make them do extra work (by having them delete the header-lines).
-
- As to (f)orward itself, what is the rationale behind prefixing all
- the lines of the forwarded item with ">"s?
- Isn't it much easier (to program) and visually cleaner for the user
- to put a separator line ahead of the forwarded item (something like
- "------- start of forwarded item ------"), and a similar line after
- the forwarded item?
