I am having trouble understanding the question.

I read your mail with the 'show' command, which is part of 'nmh'.  I
have defined my 'showproc' to be 'less', since I prefer that to the
default.  I am using the 'repl' command to reply.  It invokes the
'vi' editor.

Yes, I sometimes use 'exmh' for an X-windows interface.  But plain
nmh would seem to already provide what you want.
