go one line upwards but instead balsa treats the lines as one line and
positions the cursos above all the lines. This is logical I guess, since the
lines really are only -one- line, but it's really annoying when you are
trying to edit a mail without using the mouse. Try it and see what I mean :)

Perhaps at the same time a more advanced feature could be implemented --
namely to clean up, reflow and re-'>'-ize blocks of included text. If this
is done, perhaps it would also be a good idea to use "2>" instead of ">> "
and "3>" instead of ">>> " and so forth. But that may not me as important in
mail as on usenet.
