Simply putting the line

repl: -filt mhl.repl

makes it always happen.  If you extend the file to look more like

body:component="> ",offset=0
:
:-----
:gregg.g.wonderly@att.com  (AT&T Bell Labs or ihlpb!gregg)

and you get the signature line as well.  Remember how Brandon always has
replies that look like

+------------------------------
+ original message text
+------------------------------

He probably uses something like

:+---------------------
body:component="+ ",offset=0
:+---------------------

as his filter.

It really does not hurt to ask!  There is a comp.mail.mh group, and this
precise topic has gone by at least 3 times in the past 6 months (which
says something for the MHL documentation or lack thereof).
