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, this is pretty close to what I wanted.

Thanks Gary and Rado.
