#73542 — Standard way to generate mail/news reply?

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

means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon.

You might try searching for "mail reply" on pypi.python.org. That will
return a number of hits. I know the python.org replybot is there and
used frequently. It might be a good starting point.

It looks like I can use the email_reply_parser to do half the job, &
modify code from replybot to do the other half.  Thanks!
