Say replying to Foo Bar (with $attribution/$post_indent_string) I get
this preformated mail:
--------------------
Hi, Foo Bar!

But when writing a new mail to Foo Bar I only get an empty message (with
signature):
--------------------

--------------------
What I want is a preformated mail on the same way as replying:
--------------------
Hi, Foo Bar!

I really don't get the reason why $attribution and $post_indent_string
only work in replies. Ok, the %n in $attribution has to be replaced not
with thr realname part of the replied message but with the one from the
"To:" I just typed in. (and the %s don't make a sense, it was designed
not for "Hi, %!" but for "%n wrote on %d", and so on ;). And the
$post_indent_string would come after *non* indenting anything...
Thanks though for the discussion,
