Including message text in mail reply?

» close window

The Question is:

 
From my MAIL prompt: if I have five previously read messages stored in a
folder, how do I send a reply to the third message and include a copy of the
message along with my reply ?

The Answer is :

 
  The Wizard would strongly recommend acquiring access to and skimming
  through the OpenVMS User's Manual, as it covers many of the issues of
  interest to OpenVMS users.  Including the general use of MAIL.  Also
  available within MAIL and many other commands is HELP.
 
  In this particular case, the command sequence is:
 
    SELECT folder
    3
    ANSWER/EXTRACT
 
  FORWARD/EDIT is an alternative to ANSWER/EXTRACT.
