GNKSA[1] (which pan follows) strongly encouraged quote with reply-in- context underneath format, so AFAIK, no. However, pan *DOES* have a nice feature (also mentioned by GNKSA) of only quoting the selected text, if any was selected when followup/reply was triggered. So (accessibility issues aside) it's relatively easy to select say a single word or character and reply to that, then erase it. But generally if you're not quoting at least a few words or a sentence of context in ordered to reply to indicate appropriate context, arguably you're doing it wrong, and the defaults are there to encourage you to do it better. --- [1] GNKSA quoting, see point #10: https://web.archive.org/web/20160417105503/http://www.gnksa.org/gnksa.txt -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
