1) Mail forwarding (with edit)
   I used to use 'mail -f .' (or more precisely I bound the macro
   '[mail-flags]-f .' to \CF) to forward mail to people with editing. It
   seems that the newest mush (Mail User's Shell (6.5 4/17/89) [5/19/89])
   and it ships my forwarded mail off without allowing me to edit it. Is
   there a more graceful way to do this now other than dummying up some
   indent_str's, using 'mail -i .', then setting indent_str's back for
   normal replying?

2) Interrupt handling in the new await command.
   It seems to interrupt the macro sequence for the following macro and
   leave me in [line-mode]. Is it suppose to do that?
      [line-mode]\nupdate\nawait\nsort -d\ncurses\n[first-msg]
   I suppose a solution to this would be to use:
      [line-mode]update\n[line-mode]await\n[sort-reverse]d[first-msg]

Thanx,
