i have only sort of half-hacked a mechanism for storing partially composed messages in a special directory and retrieving them later for completing and sending. this might not be the best way to do it. maybe partially composed messages can be put into a folder, with any headers that aren't filled in, filled in with some marker value (or filled in with obtainable values like the date), so that we can have one FOLDER FOR PARTIALLY COMPOSED OUTGOING MESSAGES. then we can vm that folder, and use commands to easily edit and send them. when we're composing mail, we can do something like c-c c-o to output the mail to the partially composed outgoing mail folder. ideally mail-mode would be patched to be able to add to this folder also. maybe if the mail is a reply to another message, the message that it is a reply to can be copied to the folder along with the reply. when the mail is finally sent, optionally both the original and the reply can be deleted or put in the ordinary outgoing mail folder. comments? -- o i seek a housemate to share a ~1200'^2 2.5 br in los altos hills. email me.
