Documentation

Controls which part of a message is yanked by C-c C-y (mh-yank-cur-msg).

To include the entire message, including the entire header, use
"Body and Header". Use "Body" to yank just the body without
the header. To yank only the portion of the message following the point, set this option to "Below Point".

Choose "Invoke supercite" to pass the entire message and header through supercite.

If the "Body With Attribution" setting is used, then the message minus the header is yanked and a simple attribution line is added at the top using the value of the option mh-extract-from-attribution-verb. This is the default.

If the "Invoke supercite" or "Body With Attribution" settings are used, the "-noformat" argument is passed to the "repl" program to override a "-filter" or "-format" argument. These settings also have "Automatically" variants that perform the action automatically when you reply so that you don't need to use C-c C-y (mh-yank-cur-msg) at all. Note that this automatic action is only performed if the show buffer matches the message being replied to. People who use the automatic variants tend to turn on the option mh-delete-yanked-msg-window-flag as well so that the show window is never displayed.

If the show buffer has a region, the option mh-yank-behavior is ignored unless its value is one of Attribution variants in which case the attribution is added to the yanked region.

If this option is set to one of the supercite flavors, the hook mail-citation-hook is ignored and mh-ins-buf-prefix is not inserted.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in MH-E version
8.0.
