REPLY - write and send a reply to the current message
Usage: REPLY [option1] [option2]
Unless specified, the options "sender not-including" are assumed.
The options are:
sender: send the reply only to the sender.
all: send the reply to everyone in the TO and CC fields.
and also:
including: include the original message in the reply.
not-including: send just the reply.
The REPLY command sends a reply. It is similar to SEND, but the TO field
is supplied from the FROM of the original; the SUBJECT field is copied;
and a CC field may appear if you specify "all". You then just type
the text as in SENDing. Your message will have an IN-REPLY-TO field
showing the date of the original message you received.
The default "sender not-including" is controlled by two variables,
SET REPLY-ALL NO and SET REPLY-INSERT NO. Change them to make "all"
or "including" the usual option.
Examples showing use of the options:
Read>reply = reply sender not-including
Read>reply all = reply all not-including
Read>reply including = reply sender including
Read>reply all including
The command SET REPLY-INITIAL-DISPLAY YES will let you see the header fields
created by REPLY, and the included original message when you use the
"including" option.
The command SET REPLY-INDENT defines the characters used to set off
the original message when "reply including" is used. The usual indent
is > and a space ("> ").
