I would use nmh more often if it understood how to dequote MIME text
before a reply. ;-)
When using command line nmh, I do
mhstore -part 2 ## that usually the text part.
then, in reply
:r !dosixq filename.txt
where "filename.txt" is what mhstore wrote. Here "dosixq" is just a
small script that converts DOS line endings to unix line endings
(sometimes needed), quotes each line with "<", and adds a little
comment about why sending html is a bad idea. The latter is because
most of the messages that need this treatment are multi-part
alternative with an html component.
I could probably automate the above with a shell script replacement
to "repl", but fortunately most of my email is still plain text, so
it hasn't been worth the effort.
But I mostly use exmh (with "vi" as editor), and in that case I can
just use
:r !dosix2 @
to bring in the appropriate reply text.
