Is there some standard library or code for taking an e-mail or
newsgroup message & generating a reply to it?  (I mean things like
quoting the original message, >> quoting etc. where necessary, &
generating the right References & In-Reply-To headers.)

I homebrewed some code for this in Perl (sorry) years ago, but before
I reimplement it in Python, I thought I should ask if there's a "good"
way.

Thanks,
Adam

American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study by the AMA found
that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. This
means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon.
