That might be OK, but you really don't want to use creat() to
make the output file, that gives no locking protection at all,
not even poor protection.

Instead, use (assuming it is available)
        open(curlock, O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_EXCL, (int) st1.st_mode & 0777)

That should fail if the output file exists, which is almost as good as
the link version.

If I have that right, that's what adds the "Replied" (etc) "header" to
messages after you have sent a reply (the annotation).

So, to make it happen, you need the -annotate -noinplace options to repl
(or dist or forw) (and there's a chance it might be -annotate -inplace
that causes that link() call).   Then after you have edited and sent the
message, the annotation should be added, causing that link() to stick
the file back after it has been updated.
