- [ Good explanation of how to do this with repl. ]
-
- The main problem with this technique is that repl can't do
- "dashmunging". This is necessary if you want the recipient to be able
- to use burst to extract the original message and the original contains
- lines that start with dashes. Also, if you forward a forwarded message,
- the resulting message becomes completely unparseable by burst.
-
- I wish there were a good way of combining the features of forw and
- repl.
