I, too, have this same question. The above quote was ">"ed by having
fun with the cursor controls and inserting ">" before each line.
Although within my .emacs file, there is the line:
(setq 'mh-ins-buf-prefix ">")
which I would think sets this feature. Alas, it does not.
Can anyone do a cursory check of their .emacs file or within their
emacs directory, and see what would be the proper method of getting
">"'s?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
