If you're automating this, you don't want an editor do you?
Use <pipe-message> to send the raw message to a script of your own. Some
random macros of my own:
#macro index,pager ,x "<pipe-message>mailunpack -d ~/"
macro index,pager V "<pipe-message>mail-open-attachments<enter>" "extract
attachments to temp dir and open"
macro index,pager H "<pipe-message>unhdr|a2urls|sort -u|less" "list URLs"
BTW, I've got "set autoedit=yes" and "set edit_headers=yes", drops you
straight into an editor on reply etc.
