nn-meisters,

Here's a tricky one for ya.

Once in a while after composing a long agonizing emacs message, I do the 
contlol-X, control-C, only to my horror to see :

Send letter ? (s)

Is there any way to recover from this ? If I am on one of the better computers
(Macintosh, SUN :) its not a big deal to copy and paste into a new 
"f" follow-up message. In the hell that is DOS or UNIX, I would have to retype
the entire message to change it from a "reply through mail" to a "follow-up". 

Thanks much,

Jim
