	NOOOOOOOOOO!!  Elm is NOT a newsposter/newsreader.  Elm is for using
email, not news.

	If we were to add something like this, what would have us stop there?
Maybe we should add a news reader also, yeah!  While we're at it, let's add
a solid model graphics rendering engine, that's the ticket...  :-) :-)

	IMHO, the correct way to do this is to use the 's'ave feature of elm to
save the message.  Then, (if you use Pnews at least) use the 'Include file:' to
include your "elm/editor-composed" message.

Just one person's opinion...
