I sometimes receive e-mails with multiple questions in a single
paragraph (n.b., questions may vary):

 Why are you so cool?  How can I, someone who is not so cool,
 become as cool as you?

I sometimes would like to respond to each question individually:

 > Why are you so cool?

 No comment.

 > How can I, someone who is not so cool,
 > become as cool as you?

 No comment.

This looks uncool.  It should look like the following:

 > Why are you so cool?

 No comment.

 >                       How can I, someone who is not so cool,
 > become as cool as you?

 No comment.

This looks cool.  I'd like it if post-mode would automatically
insert spaces if I press <return> in a quoted line.  That is,
pressing <return> at when the cursor is at the position
indicated by the caret

 > Why are you so cool?  How can I, someone who is not so cool,
                         ^
 > become as cool as you?

would yield

 > Why are you so cool?
 >                       How can I, someone who is not so cool,
                         ^
 > become as cool as you?

.

I hope you'll help keep me cool.  :)

I like this idea, but wouldn't it be better if it just rewrapped the
lines, and not the massive indentation. Wouldn't that be more cool?

Hi,

I also thought this was a good idea when I coded it for MH-E.

See `mh-open-line' in mh-letter.el in the package mh-e.
