3. If you're using a custom scan format, also add this to your .mh_profile:

inc: -form scan.default

(where 'scan.default' is the name of your custom scan format).

4. I'm attaching a replacement ~/Mail/replcomps for you if you don't like
the new reply behavior. (Be sure to replace the From with your own address
if you use this, and do what you like with the last line.) Also, I'm in
the process of asking on the nmh list about this, to find out if this is
intentional or a bug. Stay tuned.
