I cannot figure out how to know what the to or cc addresses are WHILE I AM
EDITING THE MESSAGE.  The only way that I know how to do that is to stop
editing the file, go to the headers menu and figure it out from the to & cc
lines displayed there.

While we are on the subject, is it possible to expand the definition of local
to also include other hosts in 'thisdomain' rather than just 'thishost' ?

In a posting in reply to another note in this thread I indicated that one way
of helping all of these problems would be to allow the user to change the name
of the file that elm will include as the signature file as part of the header
menu.  This would allow one to then override any of these local/remote
dimensions.
