	Well, one possibility is: (from rn command line)

	!elm <esc>t

	This has the effect of a shell escape to elm with
	the 'From' line of the header. <esc> above is escape.
	Note: if you use csh you'll need to have
	-ESHELL=/bin/sh in your .rninit file (or csh will try
	to find an event for the !).

	All kinds of wonderful variables are available from
	within rn by this technique. Try !<esc>h right now
	to see the help screen. Example: !<esc>z will tell you
	how many bytes are in this posting.
