Quote multiple messages in new message

[steve]

Hi,

I would like to create a new message containing quotations of others
messages (in order to avoid copy-pasting). I tried to tag some messages
with T then type ;m but this create an empty new message. I've searched
the web with many different key words but failed to find a solution.

Help would be highly appreciated.

try ;r
and rewrite the To: field

Stupidly (or so), I didn't…

And it does exactly what I wanted. Thank you.

And thanks for the others for their input.

Note that this will add in-reply-to headers which you might not
expect if you want to create a new message.

Right. But it's that of a hassle to modify the headers. Including text
is much more.

Have a nice Sunday,

If you follow tagging (I just use t to individually select) with ;L (if
a list is defined) or else ;r , then they'll be quoted - and the list or
the reply addresses will be in the To: header. If you have edit_headers
set, it's easy to substitute another address if you're not replying.
