Here's my list of the bugs I've run into in Elm 1.5b

- doesn't parse termcap padding characters (esp. for standout mode)
- needs to use termcap "ti"/"te" if applicable (to force 1 page screen mode)
- needs a "copy" vs. "move" option instead of the current "save" (move) option
- needs shorthand for the "read" mailbox
- bounce option generates uucp bang sender address (we use Internet syntax).
- options menu needs to interpret csh "~" notation for Folder path
- builtin editor miscounts on ^U (kill line), backspacing 1 too many columns
- builtin editor thinks "(" ")" are shell metachars!
- mail-only mode needs to map \n to \r\n (turn on newline mapping)
- mail-only mode doesn't save copy in sent folder (doesn't read .elmrc)
- in mail-only mode, INTERRUPT forever gives a prompt to hit INTERRUPT once more
