I think I take the cake for the most complex solution.  I use rn's
facilities for saving messages and give a shell script as my saver.

ENVIRONMENT:

setenv RNINIT ~/.rnrc


FILE .rnrc:

-EMAILHEADER="To: %T
Subject: %(%i=^$?:Re: %S
Newsgroups: %n
In-Reply-To: %i)
Fcc: outbox
--------
"
-EMAILPOSTER="~/.rn_mailer %h"
-EMBOXSAVER="~/.rn_saver %b %A"
-ESAVEDIR="~/Mail"
-ESAVENAME="article"


FILE .rn_saver

#! /bin/csh -f
# Rn-Mh Mailmode article saver.
#
# Arguments:
#	If the folder exists
#		$1	<Mail Directory>/<folder>/article
#	Else
#		$1	<Mail Directory>/<folder>
#	Then
#		$2	Source article.

set folder=$1
if ("$1:t" == "article") set folder=$folder:h
inc -silent +$folder:t -file $2


FILE .rn_mailer

#! /bin/csh -f
# Rn-Mh Mailer.
#
# Arguments:
#		$1	The mail header file.

# Include a copy of the message in the drafts folder.
inc -silent +drafts -file $1

# Edit the message.
