try using gnu-emacs mh-mail facility. i don't use it but it should be
documented.  this lets you use mh from within emacs. at least i believe
this is what you are trying to ask...

here is how i do this: (all files are in my mh Mail directory.)

the file replcomps describes the format of the messages i "repl" to.
the file replfilter describes how to pre-process the message i am "repl"ing
to, and replfiltercomps is the equivalent of replcomps when i use the
filter. in order to get the message i am replying to included, i use the
alias ``alias repli "repl -form replfiltercomps -filter replfilter"''. the
way i have it set, the message is included with vertical bars to the left
and a separator line at the top and bottom. my ``signature'' consists of
the ``v.'' at the end of two of the files. you can replace that with
anything you wish.  alternatively, if you want all replies to include the
original message, add the following line to .mh_profile and ignore the
alias for repli.

repl: -filter replfilter

and also move the file replfiltercomps to replcomps.

if you have sources, the documentation is in there in troff format. look
for it. also, to determine which version you are running and with which
compile-time options, use the -help option to any mh command, e.g.,
``msgchk -help'' will give you the info. here is my configuration:

version: MH 6.6 #2[UCI] (juliet) of Thu Sep 15 17:35:42 EDT 1988
options: [BSD42] [MHE] [NETWORK] [BERK] [MHRC] [WHATNOW] [OVERHEAD]
         [BIND] [SENDMTS] [SMTP]

hope this all helps.
