Here are two questions answers to which will surely save me time and
efforts. I use GNU Emacs 18.50.1 on SUN3 running Berkeley-Unix4.2 and
MH6.5.

1. 
Has anyone ever redefined mh-answer in mh-e.el so it can accept
type-ins from the keyboard to repl -query?

If you have -query in repl line in .mh_profile and in gnuemacs
call mh-e, mh-show the message, and try to mh-answer the message, you
will prompted to type in the replied-to category(from, cc or all) on
the command line. Suppose you typed "from", then it would open a window
for the reply message and there it would next ask you whom to answer. 
You would answer yes or no and I bet you are sure to see a composed
header without To: field.  I understand why mh-answer works this way
but have no time and knowledge to redefine it.  Hence the above
question. 

2.
A similar question.  mh-e does not update the folder so the messages
read by mh-e are stilled maked as unseen in the folder, say inbox.
Has anyone changed this feature?

Thanks.
