another quoting thing

  1. Default another quoting thing

    Hi,

    I've recieved a mail and mutt is not able to colorize the quoted part.
    The message is a cryptographically signed message in MIME format and the
    quoted lines begin with " >". There is only one level of quotes. If I
    remove the space before the ">" in the raw message, everything works
    fine, mutt can colorize correctly. For testing purpose I created a
    unsigned mail with " >" as the start of a quote and mutt recognized the
    quoting correctly. I've used the standard quote_regexp "^([ \t]*[|>:}#])+"
    So, actually it should work. But why is it failing on this specific,
    signed, mail? Is it another "Feature, not a bug!"? ;-)

    Maybe it's formatted with the "flowed" parameter to type text/plain?
    I've seen bad quoting there occasionally.

    You are right. It's type text/plain with format=flowed. The text looks
    quite good. Everything like I would expect it to be. I've removed the
    "format=flowed" string and now mutt recognizes the quoting.
