Or do I use "filter" files? How do I use "filter" files? I have read the manual page for send and don't get the idea. Thank you for the millionth time! ----- You have the right idea. There are three things that compose messages - comp, repl, and forw. You can have a components file for each one. So basically there are two options: 1. If you want all compositions to have the same look then change the components file to look something like: --- To: cc: Subject: -------- ------- Kevin ( Don't hurry, Don't worry, and don't forget to smell the flowers. -anon ) --- Not to much of a problem. 2. The other possibility is to use a form file (look at the -form option). With this you can have several different types of styles - but you get no information so that you could not use this idea for repl or forw, but works well with comp. There is some really useful documentation in mh/doc directory - mainly ADMIN.me and MH.me. -kevin
