I've been messing around trying to get Xmh's ReplyInsertFilter to work.
When I hit the Insert button, the message being replied to is indeed
inserted into my composition at the insertion point, but without the
embellishments I want awk to add. Here's my ReplyInsertFilter resource...

Xmh*ReplyInsertFilter:	awk '{print "> " $0}'

..this awk command works fine when tested manually on a csh command line.

I'm using the xmh from X11R4 distribution. I'm not sure of the patch
level as I didn't build it, it most likely isn't up to the latest level. 

I'm running on a 3100 with...

ULTRIX V4.0 (Rev. 179) System #5: Mon Aug 27 11:08:21 PDT 1990
UWS V4.0 (Rev. 164)

And my repl version is...

version: MH 6.5 #74[UCI] (sairam) of Thu Mar 15 04:49:36 EST 1990
options: [BANG] [ATZ] [ISI] [MHRC] [WHATNOW] [BSD42] [BERK] [TTYD]
         [DUMB] [MHE] [NETWORK] [BIND] [RPATHS] [SBACKUP='"#"']
         [SENDMTS] [SMTP]


If you can help, great. Please respond to me directly as I do not keep
up with these newsgroups regularly.

thanks,

Jeff
