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.

On Friday, September 07th, 1990, at 11:14h GMT, in message <972@ria.ccs.uwo.ca> , 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?
