I'm new to MH, and am trying to customize it to handle my replies to
mail correctly.  My problem is that most of the messages I receive use
the component 'Return-Path:'  instead of 'From:', and MH doesn't seem to
be able to cope with 'Return-Path:'

I have the following line in my .mh_profile (among other things):

  repl: -filter mhl.repl -cc all -nocc me -fcc +outbox -annotate -inplace

and my mhl.repl file contains:

  :
  From:nocomponent,compwidth=0,formatfield=">>>>>>>> Original message %<{text}from %(friendly{text}) %><<<<<<<<"
  Return-Path:nocomponent,compwidth=0,formatfield=">>>>>>>> Original message %<{text}from %(friendly{text}) %><<<<<<<<"
  Body:component="|",compwidth=0

The 'From:'  component is handled just fine by all of this, but when the
component 'Return-Path:'  is found, the 'formatfield' is ignored
(apparently).

Should this be working, or should I be fixing the 'Return-Path:'
problem somewhere else in the MH system (or somewhere else outside the
MH system)?
