editor oldmessagefile newmessagefile
DESCRIPTION
Emactovi
is intended to be used by
msg(1)
when in the 2-window reply mode.
When

exec's the EDITOR in this mode,
two file names are provided as arguments.
The first file holds a copy of the message being replied to,
the second file is for the new message.
Emactovi
copies the first file into the second file then exec's the
program whose name is given by the first arguement.
A citation line is created in the new message from the date of
the original message and the entire first message is copied into
the second with each line preceeded by a ``>''.
New filters may be created so long as they copy ``oldmessagefile''
into ``newmessagefile'' and exec ``program''.
