OTOH, we *don't* all get the same behavior with #+begin/end_quote and the behavior you get is inconsistent with the code: you get picture mode, Gustav and I get (confusing) questions about opening a file with ffap. > Quotes are almost always text imho.=20 >=20 Not sure what the "best" solution is: sometimes they are ascii art and having picture mode on is helpful, sometimes they are text and some kind of text mode would be more appropriate. But they could really be anything so *any* choice is bound to disappoint at some point/time and I'm not sure org can be prescient enough TDRT all the time. Nick
