[ Good explanation of how to do this with repl. ]

The main problem with this technique is that repl can't do
"dashmunging".  This is necessary if you want the recipient to be able
to use burst to extract the original message and the original contains
lines that start with dashes.  Also, if you forward a forwarded message,
the resulting message becomes completely unparseable by burst.

I wish there were a good way of combining the features of forw and
repl.
