But it doesn't work with MH5, which my employer is still running.  So, I
do it this roundabout way (note that I do not use mhl anywhere), in my
.mh_profile:

mhlproc: /usr1/jamesp/sbin/replfilter
repl: -filter /dev/null

And my /usr1/jamesp/sbin/replfilter program looks like this:

# 
# Read a mail message on stdin, and echo the body only with all lines
# preceded by "> "
#

sed -e '1,/^$/d' -e 's/^/> /' $@

Hope this helps!
