[Well, I'll forward this to bug-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu in the hope
that it will do some good on the sendmail front... as I lack energy to
do more ...DJ]

This is actually a general problem with sendmail.  I have a copy of a
package which remembers the window configuration and restores it after
mailing which I can send to people.  It was written by Henry Thompson
<ht@cogsci.edinburgh.ac.uk> and works quite well.  He was also kind
enough to help me patch the gnus-Subject-forward() function posted by
karl_kleinpaste@cis.ohio-state.edu to work with his package.  It loses
if you start to reply and then kill the reply buffer without sending,
but this is a relatively minor hassle, IMHO.  Let me know if you are
interested.
            Peace,
