Re: [Nmh-workers] temporary files

[Jerrad Pierce]

This behavior is documented in the repl man page, from context it appears to
be to support for custom editors (or the imaginary replproc) to do things w/o
having to grok the MH message filesystem

       See  comp(1)  for  a  description  of the -editor and -noedit switches.
       Note that while in the editor, the message being replied to  is  avail-
       able  through  a link named "@" (assuming the default whatnowproc).  In
       addition, the actual pathname of the message is stored in the  environ-
       ment  variable  $editalt, and the pathname of the folder containing the
       message is stored in the environment variable $mhfolder.
