I recently upgraded the copies of mush on our network from 6.0 to 6.5.6. 
While most people are happy I received to complaints pretty consistently. 
(1) No more Cc: prompt after sending the message and (2) pressing return in
line mode doesn't display the next message any more.  Personally, I use
curses mode anyway and not having the Cc doesn't bother me any more since I
have auto_edit set also. 

Problem (1) is partly my fault because I made "edit_hdrs" the default in
global Mushrc.  While most liked to have "edit_hdrs" set, they miss the Cc:
prompt more and prefer "unset edit_hdrs".  Bart suggested maybe mush could
prompt for Cc: at the same time it gets to the To: line.  I think this would
be fine, but was wondering what others thought of this change? 

Problem (2), I was surprised but a number of users here use Mush in line
mode.  Most of them (seems like it) have complained that pressing return to
see the next message doesn't work anymore and how can they alias it or set
something to fix it?  I couldn't figure out a way to make it work in line
mode, though it can be done in curses mode (bind \n display-next).  Any
suggestions?  I already told them, type "n" return, but I was wondering if
there was a way to make return alone work.
