If the inner msg you want to repl to is always the Nth part, then maybe
adding -part N to mhshow invocation in the enclosed script will be a whole
cli solution?  Or strip -part N from $* and use it in mhshow (at that point
i'd recode in perl.)

Fyi/fwiw, I call the script "replx", and I use it a lot these days.  It uses
mhshow to pretty print the enclosed msg you're replying to--increasing
necessary with so many html-only and other quoted-printable encoded msgs
being sent.  See also the exmh archives ca Jun 2004.
