- A 'replfilter' is the answer to your question. In your .mh_profile you should
- specify a file that MH will use to format replies when the 'repl' command is
- envoked. The added line in your .mh_profile should look something like:
-
- repl: -filter /usr/local/lib/mh/replfilter
-
- I put the filter in this directory because it is used by so many users on my
- system. The file 'replfilter' should contain something like:
-
- message-id:nocomponent,formatfield=\
- "In message %{text}you write:"
- body:component=">",overflowtext="> ",overflowoffset=0
-
- This should fix your problems. Good luck.
