For egroups, I am doing it with procmail + perl script. But some other things like removing quoted text have to be done on a case to case basis. So, I still need the macro and editor magic. Actually, I use a generic perl script as editor option and pass the name of the filter script as the first argument. The editor script is attached.

I'm using this to macro-reply to messages with some stock response
text.
macro attach \;m "enter-commandset
wait_key=noenterpipe-entrymm-replyenterenter-commandset wait_key=yesenter"
"Send Mailman completion message"
"mm-reply" is attached. It's an "attach" macro because I use it only
to reply to MIME message/rfc822 components. It probably could be a
"normal" macro if you wanted to do that kind of thing.

Extra line added on edit message
Hi,
When I do edit-message ('e' in index menu by default), I get the
message in my editor. It seems like there is an extra newline added at
the end of the message. Thus, if I repeatedly keep on editing my
message and saving it (by force) without any changes, blank lines get
piled up at the end of the message. Is this done with some reason or is
it just a bug?
I am using some scripts for cleaning up some mails by setting editor
variable to script name. And, every time I try it, new lines get added
at end.
Regards,
Abhay.
