Replying to an attached mail

[Ansgar Burchardt]

Hi,

sometimes I get an email forwarded as a message/rfc822 attachment.
Reading this mail works fine, but I have not found an easy method to
reply to the attached mail. Hitting `R' will reply to the mail
containing the attachment (no surprise there), but the only way to reply
to the attached mail I have found so far is to save it somewhere
temporarily, visiting the temporary file and then replying there.
This seems a bit cumbersome to me.

I guess it would be enough to display the attachment like a regular
mail, but I did not manage to find out how to do this. Any hints?

Regards,
Ansgar

Type `C-d' to dissect the mail containing the message/rfc822 part
in question into some parts. Find the part you want to reply.
And then reply to it as usual.

In the summary buffer, press C-d, then select the sub-part
and press R.

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for.
