I wrote mha-mhedit a long time ago, so I am not sure the "magic" you mention was possible in earlier versions of nmh (and in MH itself). If it was, I was not aware of it, and took an approach that works based on the knowledge I had of MH/nmh at the time. > The wrinkle here > is that replyfilter only has access to the body of the message, due to > complications with mhl; the extra MIME headers it needs are passed as > command line arguments I definitely needed an approach that provide access to the entire mail message. > I have nothing against mha-mhedit's approach; my motivation was to have > a solution that could work with third-party programs; you can't easily > use mha-mhedit with something like exmh, for example (or at least it > wasn't obvious to me). Since I already had software that did MIME parsing and formatting, mha-mhedit was a way for me to leverage it in order to overcome the deficiencies in MH/nmh's repl capbilities. I've never used exmh, so I am not sure if mha-mhedit can be used with it. Unless someone already has mhonarc (or does not mind installing it), I think Ken's script is the way to go until nmh can natively handle formatting replies to MIME messages better. --ewh _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
