replyfilter works fine, having the functionality in C code would
be nicer. Most of us do many things with nmh with separate scripts,
including things like signing/encrypting messages. The only thing that
marks replyfilter out from the rest of these is that you added a special
hook for it and it is distributed in the contrib directory.

Using mhshow piped to sed to add the '> ' prefix does just as good a
job as replyfilter: I've used it that way since before replyfilter
existed and it works even better now with 1.6 (thanks!). Most of the
functionality is sort-of already there in nmh without resorting to perl:
it'd be great of repl (or an mhrepl) could use it.
