No, no, no. Please no more features that don't belong in a MUA!

What is wrong with '!finger user' ?

If someone really wants to make all these-type features available in elm,
how about writing a command macro facility rather than additional
little 'features'?

No, I'm not willing to do it. I have enough work here already.
