|I've been using something similar to use mh's comp to reply to mail:
|
|	-EMAILPOSTER='/usr/local/bin/comp -form %h'
|	-EMAILHEADER='To: %T\\n\
|	Cc: liz\\n\
|	Subject: Re: %S\\n\
|	Newsgroups: %n\\n\
|	In-Reply-To: %i\\n'

Here is the bells and whistles one I've been using:

-EMAILPOSTER="MHCONTEXT=/tmp/mhc.%L comp -form %h -editor ${VISUAL-${EDITOR-vi}}"
-EMAILHEADER=\
'To: %t\\n\
Fcc: +CC\\n\

'

In particular, %t works better than %T, because it uses Reply-To or
From.  For an Internet site, at least.  Maybe %T is better for uucp
sites.  But I drag in %T also, in case I can't work out the return
address.

I used to use this for MAILPOSTER:

-EMAILPOSTER="MHCONTEXT=/tmp/mhc.%L repl -form %h -editor ${VISUAL-${EDITOR-vi}} +%d %a"

It had the advantage of allowing you to read in the original article with
:r @. But they broke repl -from in MH 6.5, sigh...
