1. I've not been able to find way to save the changed message.  The ^X^S
and ^X^W key commands don't work.  Filing the message to the folder mail
says that the message is already there.  Filing the message to a new
folder moves the file that was in mail to the new folder, rather than
the modified contents.

2. You can only modify one message in an messages session.  I made
changes to one message, and then clicked back in the captions sub-window
to read another message.  After that, following EXACTLY the same
procedure (clicking in the message window and write-enabling the
buffer), did NOT turn off keyboard commands.  I could not even enter a
<space>.  The work around for this is to restart messages from scratch.

Please let me know if you can't duplicate this behavior.  I have ESC~
re-bound and had to use my local binding ^X^Q to make the buffer
writable.  Perhaps my using a different key command screwed something
else up.
