Is there any way to use xboard to play an email game, and NOT use cmail?  My
opponent doesn't use cmail, and what I'm looking for is the following.

* get his move via email
* fire up xboard
* load game
* input his move
* make my move
* save game
* email the saved game
* repeat

When I load a game, it doesn't let me make moves unless I put it in Edit Game
mode, wherein it adds *another* set of [] style headers.
