send speedup
I've made a small optimization to "send":  it now gathers up all the
input and runs the actual sending in background, so it is reasonably
quick regardless of how slow news is running.  An unfortunate side
effect is that you can no longer terminate the text of news being typed
directly into send with ".":  you must use control-D.  A simple fix for
this could be done using sed(1) except for a bug in sed.  Not a big thing,
I think, because almost everybody sends from the editor anyway.
