As quoted from <2178@sol.ARPA> by ken@cs.rochester.edu (Ken Yap):
+---------------
| Here are a couple of short shell scripts for MH. The first I call
| "current". Inside the editor, vi for me, I say :r !current and the
| body of the message is read in with >'s prefixing each line. I forget
| who wrote this and posted to the MH users group.
|
| I wrote the second one. I call it appvi and appex (links to same
| file). From whatnow, I can say "e appvi file" or "e appvi !command",
| and it reads in the file or the output of command and then drops me
| into vi or ex. Of course, command is often "current".

What the heck do you need *these* for? Ever heard of ~/Mail/replcomps?
I got MH to do 99% of the work of putting my fancy boxes around messages
via my replcomps file (it never did blank lines right, but then I didn't
waste a lot of time trying to figure out how to do it).
Ah well, nothing like reinventing the wheel...
