When you post a followup it is often useful to include *some* of the
article you are following up to.  To include the article, answer `y'
to the `Include original article?' prompt.  After you are in your
editor, delete all the lines that are not specifically relevant to
your response.  For example, you should always delete any signatures
(unless of course you're discussing a sig!).  Here are commands for
deleting a line in some editors.

  Editor     To Delete a Line
  ======     ================
  vi         ESC dd
  pico       ^K
  emacs      ^K

With all these editors there are more efficient ways to delete lots
of text, but these commands should get you started.
