I've been trying to customize my mh scripts to do the following, but havent
found a good answer.
I'm working on a SPARC, and always have an emacs around.  I'd like for
repl to just format the reply header and print where it is located, so I can
load it into emacs.
I got that to work with -editor echo
which just prints the message number in my drafts folder.
However, this isnt exactly what I want, as I dont really want a what now?
taking up my window.  I'd prefer it to just exit.  (and I'll do a send after I
finish with the draft).
However, there does not seem to be a way to get this to work.  If I do a
-nowhatnowproc, then it doesnt edit, so I cannot (easily) find out the message
number in the folder.
I would also like this to work with comp.
(I should mention, I guess that I have several aliases for this, repl and comp
involk emacs, q{repl,comp} use prompter and my{repl,comp} should have the
above behaviour, I dont want to mess up the other ones.)

And, if that isn't enough, anyone know how to get xmh to do this too?
