Most of our users use a locally modified version of uE with PC style
function key support. One problem that has been noticed as more people
use elm is a tendency to hit the wrong key in the editor and exit
without typing a message or hit the equivalent of vi's :q!

While I realise that this may well reflect on the choice of keys of our
editor, it would be nice if Elm issued a warning, something like

"Warning: your mail message is empty, press "f" to exit or "e" to edit"

This would be in the same spirit as the rather anoyong message telling
me that I have no Subject line and IMHO much more useful.

Another point is that users who use the builtin pager, which we recomend
over "less" are finding that they would prefer to have another key
("n" is already bound for this anyway) to take them to the next msg
so that if they press <SPACE> to many times they are not taken into the
next msg or even the one after that without wanting to.

2.4.20 does not appear to do anything in this area. What do others
think?
