This is a great idea!  It is a major nuisance (sp?) to go through all the
contortions necessary to run an article (or mailing for that matter)through
spell before posting, particularly if it is a response, rather than an original
article.

I'd also like followup ("f" or "F" in rn) articles to be appended to $home\
author_copy, just like original articles are.  (I'd also like outgoing mail
appended to mbox.)
