I didn't infer that from the reply-hook text: Note the reply-hook is executing before the editor runs, but it is only pushing the commands onto the input buffer. They don't get executed until the "compose" screen comes up and reads from that input buffer (or various prompts pop up and read from the buffer too). > I'll put a reminder in my own notes.

Just to add another caution: if for some reason later on you decided to "set include=yes" in your .muttrc, the prompt would no longer occur and that leading "y" in the macro might end up sending the email! -- Kevin J.
