Writing it to fit in memory when Waffle is loaded is a bit messy.  I've
been doing it with a DOS newsreader and you have to do messy things like
using temporary files.  There's no problem fitting the actual newsreader
into memory, but it's having enough memory left to call the editor,
rnews or rmail.
