I have always wondered why Berkeley Mail doesn't let you edit the header
with the same editor you use to edit the text (e.g. initial entry from
the keyboard, subsequently through ~v).  I end up running /bin/mail
all the time because it will let me type:

% mail user

...so if somebody is really considering fixing Berkeley Mail, how
about fixing the whole problem rather than applying another patch?
