Syntax 1: +EDIT <old text>/<new text> Syntax 2: +EDIT<delimiter><old text><delimiter><new text> This is like the @edit command for attributes. It takes all occurrences of <old text> and replaces them with <new text> in your message. It then prints out your changed message with the changes hilighted (if your terminal supports ansi). If <old text> is a $ then <new text> is appended to the end of your message. If <old text> is ^ then <new text> is prepended to your message. (Warning: Sometimes the mail system has trouble printing out your modified message with the changes hilighted. If it doesn't look right, try using +proof to check it. +PROOF always shows the message as it will look to others when they read it.) You can specify a delimiter other than the "/" character by using the second syntax. Example 1: +edit wonderful/very wonderful (Edits all occurrences of "wonderful" in your message to "very wonderful".) Example 2: +edit,good/bad,good/evil (Edits all occurrences of "good/bad" to "good/evil".)
