When you declare a variable inside a function, it becomes local to the
function.  The SendMail_Cmd and MailEdit_Reply_To commands need to be
made global:

  variable SendMail_Cmd = 
     "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -oem -odb -f duke0fperl@xxxxxxx";
  variable MailEdit_Reply_To = "dukeofperl@xxxxxxx";

  define mail_hook ()
  {
     mailedit_mode ();
     local_setkey ("mail_send", "^C^C");
     local_setkey ("mail_kill_buffer", "^Xk");
  }

How is Alpine calling jed?  Does it substitute "%s" by the name of the
file?

No-- mailedit mode does not use those items because it leaves it up to
the mail-delivery agaent.   The above functions are primarly used for
modes such as the changlog mode, which adds entries to changelog files.
