Hi,

I have noticed that sometimes people quote really large portions of
previous articles.  Most of the time this is fairly annoying over a
phone line, as I have to wait for it to be sent.  At 2400 baud it is a
bit of a pain.  What I am wondering is, has anybody written a hook to
gnus that shows just one line for each quoted passaged?  And allows
you to expand it with a key?

Something that would work as follows:

>jane@eden.com writes:
>
>A lengthy explanation...
>
>

Would be replaced with:

>QUOTE: jane@eden.com

and could be expanded or shrunk with a keystroke.  That way one would
get just the single line, and could expand it if the previous article
was not fresh in your mind.

Has anybody written something like this?  Or does anybody know of
something that could be modified to give this functionality?  I am not
an emacs elisp guru, or even a novice, so I would have a hard time
doing it myself.
