I just switch from vi to emacs and I have two questions:
1. I use vi commmand :r @ in repl to copy all my recieving message into
new repl message but I tried to do samething with emacs in either emacs
or vip mode but this looks for /usr/spool/mail which is already empty
and this should look for inbox message (I guess). emacs is very
sensitive on unix csh environment. I am running Ultrix v3.0 and I don't
know what version of mh. I would like to know how can I quote all
recieving message into emacs editor.
2. How can I get ">" on left side of all recieving message into repl
editor so I can quote this recieving message more clear?
for example:
> I am using mh mailer...
I like this mailer.
I don't have good doc on mh and I would like to get more information on
mh.
Thank you..
Willy
p.s. it would be nice to add signature under my name and my company does
not use usenet signature at all.

How can I get ">" on left side of all recieving message into repl >editor so I can quote this recieving message more clear? here is how i do this: (all files are in my mh Mail directory.) the file replcomps describes the format of the messages i "repl" to. the file replfilter describes how to pre-process the message i am "repl"ing to, and replfiltercomps is the equivalent of replcomps when i use the filter. in order to get the message i am replying to included, i use the alias ``alias repli "repl -form replfiltercomps -filter replfilter"''. the way i have it set, the message is included with vertical bars to the left and a separator line at the top and bottom. my ``signature'' consists of the ``v.'' at the end of two of the files. you can replace that with anything you wish. alternatively, if you want all replies to include the original message, add the following line to .mh_profile and ignore the alias for repli. repl: -filter replfilter and also move the file replfiltercomps to replcomps. ---<cut here for replcomps>--- %(lit)%(formataddr %<{reply-to}%|%<{from}%|%<{sender}%|%{return-path}%>%>%>)\ %<(nonnull)%(void(width))%(putaddr To: )\n%>\ %(lit)%(formataddr{to})%(formataddr{cc})%(formataddr(me))\ %<(nonnull)%(void(width))%(putaddr cc: )\n%>\ %<{fcc}Fcc: %{fcc}\n%>\ Fcc: %<{subject}Subject: Re: %{subject}\n%>\ %<{date}In-reply-to: Your message of \ %<(nodate{date})%{date}%|%(tws{date})%>.%<{message-id} %{message-id}%>\n%>\ -------- v. ---<end of replcomps>--- ---<cut here for replfilter>--- leftadjust ignores=msgid,message-id,received,replied,return-path :+--------- To:component="| To" cc:component="| cc" From:component="| From" Subject:component="| Subject" Newsgroups:component="| Newsgroups" Date:component="| Date" :| body:component="| " :+--------- : : v. ---<end of replfilter>--- ---<cut here for replfiltercomps>--- %(lit)%(formataddr %<{reply-to}%|%<{from}%|%<{sender}%|%{return-path}%>%>%>)\ %<(nonnull)%(void(width))%(putaddr To: )\n%>\ %(lit)%(formataddr{to})%(formataddr{cc})%(formataddr(me))\ %<(nonnull)%(void(width))%(putaddr cc: )\n%>\ %<{fcc}Fcc: %{fcc}\n%>\ Fcc: %<{subject}Subject: Re: %{subject}\n%>\ %<{date}In-reply-to: Your message of \ %<(nodate{date})%{date}%|%(tws{date})%>.%<{message-id} %{message-id}%>\n%>\ -------- ---<end of replfiltercomps>--- > >I don't have good doc on mh and I would like to get more information on >mh. if you have sources, the documentation is in there in troff format. look for it. also, to determine which version you are running and with which compile-time options, use the -help option to any mh command, e.g., ``msgchk -help'' will give you the info. here is my configuration: version: MH 6.6 #2[UCI] (juliet) of Thu Sep 15 17:35:42 EDT 1988 options: [BSD42] [MHE] [NETWORK] [BERK] [MHRC] [WHATNOW] [OVERHEAD] [BIND] [SENDMTS] [SMTP] hope this all helps. vick. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ARPA: khera@cs.duke.edu Department of Computer Science CSNET: khera@duke Duke University UUCP: {mcnc,decvax}!duke!khera Durham, NC 27706
