Make a symbolic link from `repl' to `reply'. < [and so forth.] Oh yes, this nonsense about using repl vs. reply is so that you can get the old (quick) behavior by typing `repl' and also get the new angle-bracket-with-editor behavior by typing `reply'. -- bd P.S. I don't know of any way to get the angle brackets on empty lines without going through sed or awk. There are a couple of solutions to this problem shipped with mh-6.5 somewhere, I think; look down the miscellany/ subdirectory. Most people prefer having no brokets on empty lines because it gives them a chance to inject their own comments closer to the part that made them want to comment.
