Hello,
Is it possible to reply to a specific message (specified by its
Message-ID, say) from the command line?
I was told on the #mutt IRC channel that it is possible to write such
a script using mutt -e ..., and that someone on this mailing list
might know how.
[Unrelated question: What exactly does mutt do when one hits 'r' or
'g' to reply to an email? I guess that it generates a In-Reply-To
header based on the Message-ID of the message being replied to
("parent message"), and a References header based on the References
header of the parent message, and To and CC header based on the From:
and all known recipients (To, Cc) of the parent message, and generates
a Message-ID of its own (randomly?) . Is this all?]
Thanks,
Shreevatsa
