Adding yet another style of interface between nmh's parts, which would
have to be documented and users would have to understand and use, seems
wrong.  What's your reason against running mhshow as ‘mhreplyfmt’, or
something?  Is it the need to duplicate all MIME-configuration entries
from ‘mhshow-*’ to ‘mhreplyfmt-*’?

Again, the mhreplyfmt-... could choose whether to use it.  I think
I would sometimes want it as part of the reply text, e.g. it's a
one-line summary of a PDF and I want to quote that line for context
about my following chunk of reply.
