Not in the latest version of "rn" (nor in any version I can remember
using):

	Send, abort, edit, or list? abort
	Article appended to /home/auspex/engr/guy/dead.article
	A copy may be temporarily found in /home/auspex/engr/guy/.article

The copy is in ".article" because it is, in fact, used while building
the article - Pnews sticks stuff in there and throws you into your
editor running on that file, and if you say "send" it ships off the
stuff in that file.
