    You can download a file called MSG.ARC from the Late Night
    Software BBS (415-695-0759).  It is a basic Fido Style
    message reader/poster that will let you use your favorite
    editor.

     You should be able to enter a "To: <bang or domain address>"
     on the first line and MAILOUT will handle it properly.  You
     do not need to enter a ^A as the first char.   Sorry if the
     manual was not clear on this.  I will look into this and
     change the docs approriately.
