I seem to remember that before my shift to emacs24 I just used quote-blocks and they were in text mode and I thought that was allright as default behaviour. Actually, I did not even notice what mode I was in, because it felt so natural to edit the quote as text. I'm not really into this, its a bit strange, and might be just a special problem with my emacs installation/configuration. -- cheers, Thorsten
