The reason why the -annotate switch for the MH commands forw and repl
has no effect when you forward or reply to a message through xmh is
that the message is not sent directly from forw or repl.  I recollect
that xmh passes the message off to the MH command send.  This mechanism
prevents annotation from taking place when you use xmh.

I don't.  But I would be interested in receiving one.  Instead of 
ripping out the use of the MH send command in xmh, I think it would
be easier to add a call to the MH anno command, done around the time
that the message is passed off the send command.
