True, but you could be sneakier about it.  It wouldn't be too hard to make the
edit buffer start out with the same point, window-start, and mark-ring as the
message buffer.  This would be a win.

Also, when you edit a message, the edit buffer should appear in whatever
window the message buffer is visible in; if I type "e" from the summary
window, it's ugly that the summary is replaced, leaving with two copies 
of the message (and the one I'm editing in a smaller window.)
