I have been trying to set up a filter file for use with repl,
but only with partial success.
For the Date I specify the following -
Date:formatfield="On %(putstr(weekday{text})), %(putstr(lmonth{text})) \
%02(putnumf(mday{text}))th, 19%02(putnumf(year{text})), at \
%02(putnumf(hour{text})):%02(putnumf(min{text}))h %(putstr(tzone{text})),",nocomponent
which works fine, except a blank line is inserted in the text before
the next line. How do I get the next line of text to immediately
follow the line on which the date information has been written?
I would also like to add some text to the following fields -
Message-Id:formatfield="in message %(putstr{text}),",nocomponent
Subject:formatfield="on the subject of %(putstr{text}) you write ",nocomponent
However, whatever I put in the formatfield for these items is ignored.
Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?
Your assitance is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

on the subject of filter files for replying to messages you write
about your filter file, which I used to send this reply. The command I
used to send this reply was:
repl -filter replfilt.jgmiller
My filter file looks like this (but not indented by a tab):
Date:formatfield="On %(weekday{text}), %(lmonth{text}) \
%02(mday{text})th, 19%02(year{text}), at \
%02(hour{text}):%02(min{text})h %(tzone{text}),",nocomponent
Message-Id:formatfield="in message %{text},",nocomponent
Subject:formatfield="on the subject of %{text} you write ",nocomponent
Yours worked fine the way it was. But (and this is why I sent the reply
to the list, instead of replying directly)... your use of %(putstr) and
%(putnumf) was redundant. The default action is to print, and the field
widths (like %02) also work by default. My filter file doesn't use them...
though I hear that some earlier versions of MH might need them.
My version is:
version: MH 6.7 #1[UCI] (eeyore.cns.syr.edu) of Wed Aug 22 13:23:31 EDT 1990
options: [BIND] [BSD42] [BSD43] [DUMB] [FOLDPROT='"0700"'] [MHRC]
[MSGPROT='"0600"'] [RPATHS] [SUN40] [TYPESIG='void'] [ZONEINFO]
[SENDMTS] [SMTP] [POP]
Could this be a problem in an earlier version of MH? Ideas, anyone?
