The heart of everyone's suggestions on this topic is essentially the
same:  use an mhl form file.  I've tried the form files as advertised,
and with a little tweaking of my own, and the closest I can get is that
the first line of the body is prefixed with the component characters,
e.g. "> ".

Does anyone know why I'd only get one line of my body modified
instead of all of them?

Thanks...
