REPL(1MH)               COMMAND REFERENCE               REPL(1MH)



NAME
     repl - reply to a message

SYNOPSIS
     repl [ +folder ][ msgs ][ -editor editor ][ -inplace ][
          -annotate ]
          [ -help ][ -noinplace ][ -noannotate ][ -cc ][ -nocc ]

DESCRIPTION
     Repl produces a reply to an existing mail message.  In its
     simplest form (with no arguments), repl sets up a message-
     form skeleton in reply to the current message in the current
     folder, invokes the editor, and sends the composed message
     if so directed.  The composed message is constructed as
     follows:

          To: <Reply-To> or <From>
          Subject: Re: <Subject>
          In-reply-to: Your message of <Date>
               <Message-Id>

     where field names enclosed in angle brackets (< >) indicate
     the contents of the named field from the message to which
     the reply is being made.  If -cc is specified, a Cc: line is
     constructed from contents of the Cc: and/or To: fields from
     the message to which the reply is being made.  Once the
     skeleton is constructed, an editor is invoked (as in comp,
     dist, and forw).  While in the editor, the message being
     replied to is available through a link called @.  In ex,
     this means the replied-to message may be read with :r @.

     As in comp,  dist, and forw, you are queried before the
     message is sent.  If the -annotate switch is specified, the
     replied-to message will be annotated with the single line,
     as such:

          Replied: <<Date Time>>

     only if the message is sent directly.  The command comp -use
     may be used to pick up interrupted editing, as in dist and
     forw; the -inplace switch annotates the message in place, so
     that all folders with links to it will see the annotation.

     Your .mh_profile can contain the following entries:


          Path: To determine the user's MH directory
          Editor: To override use of /etc/mh/prompter
          as the default editor
          Current-Folder: To find the default current folder

     Repl has the following defaults:

          +folder defaults to current

          -editor defaults to /etc/mh/prompter
          -noannotate
          -noinplace

     If a +folder is specified, it will become the current
     folder, and the current message will be set to the replied-
     to message.
