I came across a small problem with a reply from VMS to a list.  The first
time I received an error message I pressed my delete key and lost it, so
I contacted the user and ask her what she did and then I did the same
thing under test control.
 
In the VMS system, from the mailer, she read the file and then did REPLY.
In the mail editor, she only typed in her reply.  She did not delete any
of the header information. In her editor the complet file is shown so that
changes can be done to it.  I have provided a small routine to place
a > in front of each line.  Has anyone else had the same problem and what
did you do to correct it?  Is there something else that can or will be
coming out to handle something like this?
 
I have not taken the time as of now to go over the code, I plan to do that
next. I was just hoping someone else already has. We are running the 1.6c
listserv. In VMS, the user can define the editor s/he wants to use.
