- I've tried the method suggested in the FAQ for adding ">"s to the
- beginning of each line of the replied-to message, and am slightly
- dissatisfied, since it ignores blank lines. (I'm using version: MH
- 6.6 #1[UCI] (ics) of Tue May 24 15:51:53 PDT 1988; options: [BSD42]
- [BERK] [TTYD] [DUMB] [MHE] [NETWORK] [BIND] [RPATHS] [SBACKUP='"#"']
- [SENDMTS] [SMTP].)

- This may still be an FAQ (though it wasn't in the file). Why
- doesn't the following work? (In the repl filter file:)
-
- body:formatfield="> %{text}"
-
- If I understand the mh-formatting commands correctly, this
- instructs that "> " should be printed, then the text line that was
- handed to the formatter. However, the body component seems to
- completely ignore _any_ formatfield= definition. Is there some reason
- that this is so? It seems that being able to use the formatting
- commands would be as useful in the body as anywhere else.
