Thank you. (It is a simple program with a long road to go..)

|
|I am trying to set quote-inject-head to "%r wrote:\n".
|

|something like this:
|
|"John Smith wrote:\n > first line of quoted message"
|
|Note that the "\n" is printed as a string, and not obeyed as a new line.
|
|The *default* setting (i.e. omitting setting my own quote-inject-head)

|I am using OpenBSD, with nail version from the ports tree:

|moon$ nail --version
|nail v14.9.24, 2022-03-26 (built for OpenBSD)
Oh! I did not know Stuart already had comitted it!
Thank you for using this little MUA.

|Thanks!

|~/.mailrc:
|
|set v15-compat
Please do "set v15-compat=y", it will be the default in v14.10,
and it will enable automatic shell expansion (without the need for
using the "wysh" command modifier) for the below.
|set color-disable
This is "set colour-disable".
But you should not need it, unless you do configure colors. (It
was different at the beginning, but ever since we have the real
"colour" command, no automatic colours.)

|set history-file=~/.s-nailhist
|set autosort=thread
|unset autocollapse
|set hold
|set askattach
|set askcc
|set askbcc
Wondering, for me this prologue would be too lengthy given that
there is "editalong" set and $EDITOR pops up at once. (Unless
that would be ed(1) or so :), i do have "set editalong=v".)
Just from verifying that i say here is true it is terrible :)
|set editheaders
|set quote
|set quote-fold=72
|set indentprefix="> "
|set quote-inject-head="%r wrote:\n"
And then use $'' shell quoting (manual, "Shell-style argument
quoting") to expand the variable, this should get you going:
set quote-inject-head=$'%r wrote:\n'
|set crt=10
|set PAGER=less
|set prompt='nail> '
|
|account "personal" {
| localopts yes
This is automatically enabled for accounts (with a special scope).
If you would do "nail -:u -vv" you could see
mailx: COMMAND <account> "personal" {
mailx: COMMAND <account> personal
mailx: COMMAND <localopts> yes
mailx: Cannot turn off `localopts', setting is fixated
