Thanks, I got the boxquote.el file and put it in emacs folder. I'm using
slackware. It seems to load fine. That's the .emacs bit that I got from
some example of .emacs:


(require 'boxquote)
(global-set-key [f7] 'boxquote-region)


(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b y")   'boxquote-yank)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b r")   'boxquote-region)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b u")   'boxquote-unbox-region)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b t")   'boxquote-title)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b i")   'boxquote-insert-file)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b k")   'boxquote-kill)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b s")   'boxquote-shell-command)

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b b")   'boxquote-buffer)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b p")   'boxquote-paragraph)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b n")   'boxquote-narrow-to-boxquote)

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b w")   'boxquote-where-is)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b d f") 'boxquote-describe-function)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b d k") 'boxquote-describe-key)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b d v") 'boxquote-describe-variable)


I can't use it though. I highlight some lines of a post and try those
key bindings, it only says that the buffer is read-only.
I assume that it's supposed to work like that: I read your post,
highlight the bit I want to include in my reply, press some keybindings,
and then F. Am I wrong?

thank you
