Customizing Signature
To control how much of the message to which you are replying is yanked
by C-c C-y (mh-yank-cur-msg
) into your reply, modify
mh-yank-from-start-of-msg
. The default value of t
means
that the entire message is copied. If it is set to 'body
(don't
forget the apostrophe), then only the message body is copied. If it is
set to nil
, only the part of the message following point (the
current cursor position in the message's buffer) is copied. In any
case, this variable is ignored if a region is set in the message you are
replying to. The string contained in mh-ins-buf-prefix
is
inserted before each line of a message that is inserted into a draft
with C-c C-y (mh-yank-cur-msg
). I suggest that you not
modify this variable. The default value of `"> "
' is the default
string for many mailers and news readers: messages are far easier to
read if several included messages have all been indented by the same
string. The variable mail-citation-hook
is nil
by
default, which means that when a message is inserted into the letter,
each line is prefixed by mh-ins-buf-prefix
. Otherwise, it can be
set to a function that modifies an included
citation.

If you like to yank all the text from the message you're replying to in
one go, set mh-delete-yanked-msg-window
to non-nil
to delete
the window containing the original message after yanking it to make more
room on your screen for your reply.
