Similarly in 'gnus' you hit 'F' for a quoted follow-up to the group
(just as I did a few seconds ago to start this message) or 'R' for a
quoted reply to the original sender.  'f' and 'r' do the same without
quoting the original message. 'pine' has something similar.

But we don't know what e-mail client Kathleen is using do we?  It
might not be mutt, gnus, pine or anything we've even heard of, so far
as I can tell!
