# Program to mail replies to netnews articles using USG mail program.
#
# It invokes the editor to allow you to enter the mail, and then pipes the
# resulting file into /bin/mail. The editor is started off with a file
# containing "To:" and "Subject:" lines. If you modify the "To:" line,
# the new destination will be used, so that you can use a more efficient
# path if desired. To abort the mail, simply exit the editor without writ-
# ing the file.
#
# To use, include a line in your .profile
# MAILER="mailer '%s'" export MAILER
# repacing "mailer" with the full pathname of this file.
#
# BUGS: This fails if the title of the article contained an apostrophy.
