I am using rmail in emacs as my mailer. I like it a lot of better than mail and elm. However one thing which annoys me is that rmail doesn't put 'Re:' in front of the subject line when I hit 'r' to do reply. Is there a way around this? -- HaoZ. -- Internet:haozhou@acsu.buffalo.edu BITNET:haozhou%acsu.buffalo.edu@UBVM.BITNET UUCP: uunet!acsu.buffalo.edu!haozhou
