That would be nice. In the meantime, I have realized that I don't need to actually postpone my messages to do what I want---I can just exit the editor and then switch buffers from compose-mode/reply-mode. So that at least avoids the multiple-drafts issue, (but still leaves the I-lose-my-state-when-I-quit-the-editor issue). > Anyway, impressive post there.

I think the impressive bit is that of the half-dozen programs I've used in the last decade, sup is the first one to get me to write up a post like that. (All other programs were so far away from what I wanted as to make it infeasible to fix them incrementally.) -Carl -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
