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?
