In recent replies to my postings, Barton E. Schaefer <schaefer@ogccse.UUCP>
had me a little confused at first: mail messages with BOTH the correct
news-style Newsgroups, References, etc. headers AND X-Mailer: MUSH !
(Together with Bart's favourite X-Presidents :-)

At first, I thought I'd missed something, but after a quick RTFM, realised
that Bart must have saved the news message into a mailbox and replied from
there, but that got me thinking, why not implement the -h option in mush,
to startup in mail originate mode (a la mail -iE) taking the filename arg
as the edit text, (if you must - fix your paranoid From: 's first) ?

Then I can have my replies from within rn look every bit as impressive as
Bart's :-)

I'd volunteer to do it, but I still can't figure if my modification of
	long copy_flgs = 0;
to
	long copy_flgs = flags;
in line 739 of mail.c (to fix my earlier grumble about ! $alwaysignore
being ignored...) breaks anything - i.e. not yet qualified to hack
mush until I have a spare week to read the source...

How 'bout it Bart, Dan? Mush 7.0 maybe? :-)
