11.5 Replying to Messages

The Hemlock Netnews interface also provides an easy way of replying to messages through the Hemlock Mailer or via Post mode.

Command: Netnews Reply to Sender

When you invoke this command, Hemlock creates a Draft buffer and tries to fill in the to and subject fields of the draft. For the to field, Hemlock looks at the reply-to field of the message you are replying to, or failing that, the from field. If the subject field does not start with Re:, Hemlock inserts this string, signifying that this is a reply.

Command: Netnews Reply to Sender in Other Window stuff (bound to r in News-Headers and News-Message.)

This command splits the current window, placing the message you are replying to in the top window and a new Draft buffer in the bottom one. This command fills in the header fields in the same manner as Netnews Reply to Sender.

Command: Netnews Reply to Group

This command creates a Post buffer with the newsgroups field set to the current group and the subject field constructed in the same way as in Netnews Reply to Sender.

Command: Netnews Reply to Group in Other Window stuff (bound to R in News-Headers and News-Message.)

This command splits the current window, placing the message you are replying to in the top window and a new Post buffer in the bottom one. This command will fill in the header fields in the same manner as Netnews Reply to Group.

Command: Netnews Post Message stuff (bound to C-x P)

This command creates a Post buffer. If you are in a News-Headers or News-Message buffer, Hemlock fills in the newsgroups field with the current group.

Command: Netnews Forward Message stuff (bound to f in News-Headers and News-Message modes.)

This command creates a Post buffer. If you are in a Netnews Headers or News-Message buffer, Hemlock will put the text of the current message into the buffer along with lines delimiting the forwarded message.

Command: Netnews Goto Post Buffer stuff (bound to H-p in News-Message mode)

This command, when invoked in a News-Message or Draft buffer with an associated News-Headers buffer, places the associated News-Headers buffer into the current window.

Command: Netnews Goto Draft Buffer stuff (bound to H-d in News-Message mode)

This command, when invoked in a News-Message buffer with an associated Draft buffer, places the Draft buffer into the current window.
