With Elm, how do I change the ">" sign used for quoting replies?

Note: Elm is not available on any UITS systems.

In Elm, you can edit the quote prefix by editing the elmrc file located in the .elm subdirectory of your home directory. Change or add the following line of this file: prefix = >_ Note: The underscore character ( _ ) stands for a single blank space.

If there is no elmrc file in your .elm directory, you can create this file with a text editor such as Emacs or Pico and include the above line.

This information is from the Elm 2.4 FAQ, available from: ftp://ftp.cs.ruu.nl/pub/NEWS.ANSWERS/elm/FAQ
