        Yes, I think that it would be great to have a "paste clipboard as 
quotation" or something similar -- I often want that in mailers, as well. 
Also, quoting behavior should be configurable:
        If text is selected, then
                quote selection.
        If no text is selected, either quote everything or quote nothing, 
                depending on user preferences;
        Quote signature according to user preferences.

        I'd love to have an option to not quote signatures.  :)

        Cool!  I thought I remembered this from Knode (which I never use any 
more :) but maybe it was from an earlier version of Pan.  Regardless, 
I'll be glad to see it (back)!
