Huh?  You have misunderstood how quoting an email works.  If you
would just use a normal mailer, the mailer would do it for you.

But I give up.  If I have to tell you how to invoke the linter...

Yes, that is the easy part: just tell the terminal to switch on
bracketed paste mode: ^[[?2004h.  The hard part is to catch ^[[200~
and then capture all the stuff that comes after it until ^[[201~
into a separate buffer, and then paste this buffer into the current
buffer as if it were a normal "uncut".

Thanks.  But please find some other project to contribute to.
