Let the user select headers with the cursor keys, the same way they select
messages in the main elm menu.

In fact, this could be combined with my earlier suggestion for passing the
header info to the message editor. Just give the novices a message editor
that strips out the headers, edits the message using their editor, and
then goies into the elm header editor. Experts would just take this whole
unit out of the loop.

What's more, it'd make the main program smaller. Those of us with 80286
based machines would benefit from this as well. The downside is that you
would have to replace huge sections of the header editor. And no, I'm not
ready to do this myself. I'm still trying to get elm to work on Xenix 286.
