Not so. I was suggesting making the whole message editor a seperate program,
and providing a novice version that included the header editor.

Novice:
	ELM -> msgedit -> their editor -> msgedit(header mode) -> ELM

Expert:
	ELM -> editor -> ELM

Oh well, I might go back to my original plan of abandoning ELM altogether
and implementing VMAIL. I put that on the back burner when ELM was supposed
to run on Xenix/286 in the next release.
