Is the information at the top of your message below the kind of 
thing you want to include in your reply?  You can get that by 
setting the 'header' variable.

As an example, I use a macro to change my reply format between 
"Internet" style and "Outlook" style.  I set the "Outlook" style for 
this reply.  I use it at work to answer those messages from Outlook 
users that come formatted as:

    [reply N]
    -----Original Message-----
    ...
    -----Original Message-----
    [reply 2]
    -----Original Message-----
    [reply 1]
    -----Original Message-----
    [original message]

and where it is just cleaner to follow suit.

macro pager ,O  ': set   sig_on_top;set indent_string="";set header;set 
attribution="-----Original Message-----"<Return>' "set Outlook-style replies"

macro pager ,o  ': unset sig_on_top;set indent_string="> ";unset header;set 
attribution="On %{%Y-%m-%d}, %f wrote:"<Return>' "set Internet-style replies"

Each of those macros is on a single line.

HTH,
Gary

 I want to set the attribution variable such that in the initial portion 
 of the reply, I can put in arbitrary headers from the original mail (at 
 least From, To, Cc, Date, and Subject headers and probably more).

 I read the documentation for "attribution" and for "index_format" and I 
 don't see much help (Cc insertion is not possible).

 I looked a bit into "reply-hook" but could not understand how I could 
 achieve what I wanted using it.

 Any help is appreciated.
