                     something like: 'In a message xxx wrote to yyy'.

2. Macros used in Hello, Reply strings and expandable taglines
===============================================================

2.1 Format of macro

 Macro should be started with "@" and ended with ".", anything between
 will be considered as an identifier and will not be expanded in the result
 string.

 If "@" is used as an ordinary character instead of a macro symbol, it should
 be prefixed with an escape character "\", ex: wang\@durian.usc.edu.ph,
 the result string will be wang@durian.usc.edu.ph

3. Some examples to clear up things
===================================

3.1 New messages:

Let's say I'm writing a message to Rey Estrada, so that's a new message, and 
the 'Hello' keyword would be used here. The header would look like this:

From: Frank Wang
To  : Rey Estrada
Subj: your

Hello1=Hello @rFfirst.@n.,
Signoff1=@n.@n.@first.@n.Fido:@fido.@n.@Internet.@n.@date.

My message would be started with:

Hello Rey,

Frank
Fido:6:754/1.20
Internet:wang@durian.usc.edu.ph
Dec. 12, 1994

3.2 Replying

Let's say I received a message from Rey Estrada, the header of the message
looks like :

Date: Dec. 12. 1994
From: Rey Estrada
To  : Frank Wang
Subj: My registration is on the way!

I'm going to reply to Rey, since this is a reply, the reply string will
be used here:

Reply=On @mDate. @mFname.wrote to @mTname....@n.
Signoff1=@n.@n.@first.@n.Fido:@fido.@n.@Internet.@n.@date.

The reply would start with:
