- REPLY - write and send a reply to one or more messages
-
- Usage: REPLY [message-sequence]
- Unless specified, the message-sequence is "current".
-
- The prompt "Send reply for message <n> to:" will appear. Unless specified,
- "sender not-including" is assumed. The options are:
- sender: the sender of the original message, only.
- all: everyone in the TO and CC fields of the original message.
- none: don't send a reply (used to skip one of a set of messages).
- and also:
- including: include the original message in the reply.
- not-including: do not include the original message.
-
- The REPLY command sends a reply. It is similar to SEND, but the TO field
- is supplied from the FROM of the original; the SUBJECT field is copied;
- and a CC field may appear if you specify "all". You then just type
- the text as in SENDing. Your message will have an IN-REPLY-TO field
- showing the date of the original message you received.
-
- Examples:
- To send a reply to the current message, message 25, to the sender, just
- use the defaults:
- MM>reply #current message, by default
- Send reply for message 25 to: #sender not-including, by default
- Message ... :
- To send a reply to message 10 (regardless whether it's "current"), to
- all people who got the original message, and including the text of the
- original message:
- MM>reply 10
- Send reply for message 10 to: all including
- Message ... :
