<dt>&lsquo;<samp>reply [<var>msglist</var>]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>

<p>For each message in <var>msglist</var>, switches to compose mode and sends
the composed message to the sender and all recipients of the message.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>Reply [<var>msglist</var>]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>Respond [<var>msglist</var>]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>R [<var>msglist</var>]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd>
<p>Like <code>reply</code>, except that the composed message is sent only to
originators of the specified messages.
</p>
<p>Notice, that setting mail variable <code>flipr</code> (see <a href="Mail-Variables.html#Mail-Variables">Mail Variables</a>) swaps the meanings of the two above commands,
so that <code>reply</code> sends the message to the sender and all
recipients of the message, whereas <code>Reply</code> sends it to
originators only.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>followup [<var>msglist</var>]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>fo [<var>msglist</var>]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd>
<p>Switches to compose mode.  After composing, sends the message to the
originators and recipients of all messages in <var>msglist</var>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>Followup [<var>msglist</var>]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>F [<var>msglist</var>]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd>
<p>Similar to <code>followup</code>, but reply message is sent only to
originators of messages in <var>msglist</var>.
</p></dd>
</dl>

<p>To determine the sender of the message <code>mail</code> uses the
list of sender fields (see <a href="Controlling-Sender-Fields.html#Controlling-Sender-Fields">Controlling Sender Fields</a>).  The first field
from this list is looked up in message headers.  If it is found
and contains a valid email address, this address is used as
the sender address.  If not, the second field is searched and
so on.  This process continues until a field is found in the
headers, or the sender field list is exhausted, whichever happens
first.
</p>
<p>If the previous step did not determine the sender address, the
address from SMTP envelope is used.
</p>
<p>Let&rsquo;s illustrate this.  Suppose your mailbox contains the following:
</p>
<div class="example">
<table class="cartouche" border="1"><tr><td>
<pre class="example"> U  1 block@helsingor.org  Fri Jun 30 18:30  8/245    Re: The Sa

Date: Tue, 27 Apr 2004 13:23:41 +0300
Reply-To: &lt;root@helsingor.org&gt;
Subject: News

Hi
</pre></td></tr></table>
</div>

<p>Now, you issue the following commands:
</p>
<div class="example">
<table class="cartouche" border="1"><tr><td>
<pre class="example">&amp; sender mail-followup-to reply-to from
&amp; reply
To: &lt;root@helsingor.org&gt;
Subject: Re: News

</pre></td></tr></table>
</div>

<p>As you see, the value of <code>Reply-To</code> field was taken as the
sender address.
</p>
<p>Now, let&rsquo;s try the following command sequence:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example"># Clear the sender list
&amp; nosender
# Set new sender list
&amp; sender From
</pre></div>

<p>Now, the <code>From</code> address will be taken:
</p>
<div class="example">
<table class="cartouche" border="1"><tr><td>
<pre class="example">&amp; reply
To: Antonius Block &lt;block@helsingor.org&gt;
Subject: Re: News

</pre></td></tr></table>
</div>
