Replying to one's own reply

[Loris Bennett]

Hi,

If someone sends me an email message, I reply and then want to reply
again with further information, what gnus function should I use?

If I do "resend edit" or "mail forward", I don't get the original
message quoted.

Currently I simply reply and have to remember to change the to-address
from my own to that of the other person.

Is there a better way?

Cheers,

Loris

Ooop, here I am replying to my own posting.  This was supposed to go to

This works for me:

S W runs the command gnus-summary-wide-reply-with-original.

This does what I want with regard to the quoting, but the "to" and "cc"
fields still need to be swapped.

Ah, "message-reduce-to-to-cc" was what I needed.

Thanks,

I'd do `^ F'.  I.e. go back to the original message and reply to it.
