None of my yum repositories, had it. So I got it from http://www.nicemice.net/par/ . Also, I had to use yum to install several non-standard perl modules. >Ken, is there a way to simplify this?

For a user capable of doing everything else I had to do, to get replyfilter working, changing the execute bits is pretty trivial. >For users who already use a -filter, it'll take effort to figure out how to >merge them.

I'm wondering if: The default filter (given in the comments to replyfilter) shouldn't include a "foobar writes" or Maybe replyfilter should take as an argument the real filter At least, for now, I have decided to not use replyfilter. Instead, I will continue to do what I have been doing. When necessary, I use mhshow, to get some text, select it, put it into my editor (norms-cool-editor), and do a regex replacement to insert the "> " prefixes. A nit, the nmh command is repl not reply, so replyfilter should have been spelled replfilter. What should nmh-1.7, do in about mime, in replying? I don't know. But I don't think that the answer is incorporating most of the options of mhshow into repl.
