With so little information its hard to answer this one.  You don't mention
which Elm you are using (USENET Elm or HP Elm) and what version and
patch level.  Nor do you mention what machine/os/MTA being used.

Most likely, the problem is not with the editor interface.
It probably is with how you configured Elm to work with the MTA.
I'd look at the mailer configuration within config.sh/config.h and
be sure that is correct for your system.  Most likely the MTA is not
taking the file as its input.
