I've been mantaining a private patch in which R does the second of these
two things, I probably got the thought from vnews.  Now, the "tin" newsreader
uses "R" and "r" just the opposite of the way I do, causing no end of
canceled and re-started followups.

(I also arrange for non-visible handling of <char>Control-H,
which was really bugging me when I read a newsletter with lots
of underlines.  But adding this "feature" adds the possibility
of unseen hidden single control characters in a message....)
