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'.

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.
