Re: Hotkey to send reply automatically

No, not yet.  But there will be by the time you finish :-)


% keypresses, one for the hotkey, another to confirm that I want to send
% the message, and it should not write the sent message to Fcc.

I'd make a macro that momentarily changes $editor to feed it the commands
to reset the fcc and do anything else.  For instance, since confirmations
are usually set to reply to the right address, a macro that sets it to go
to the first empty line and change everything from there down to

  fcc: /dev/null

  confirm

and exit, and then all you have to do is hit 'y' to send it on.

Have fun :-)
