Normally mail prints the To: and Subject: lines before you begin typing your reply. But when the original subject is blank, it merely prompts for the subject and leaves off the To:. I don't see any documentation for this behavior. It would seem more logical to just leave off the Subject: line if it isn't there, and to print To: in any case. When I have to manually route a reply (through a UUCP host, for example), I can usually type r to reply, then ~h to edit the To: line, and I still have the original To: to glance at. But when the original subject line is blank, I have to press an extra return to get past the Subject: prompt, then ~h and four returns to see the To: line, then another ~h to edit the To: line. ---Dan
