I would like to be able to say something like

     repl < msgfile

and have the contents of 'msgfile' become the body of my reply, and
have the reply sent, without any further prompting.  This sounds so
easy I'm surprised I can't do it, but I did look through the manuals
and failed.  Can this be done?  How?  I did try various combinations of
switches to repl, but it always (a) either prompts for more input form
the terminal, or (b) aborts and leaves an unsent draft behind.
