we keep ed around for use on our unix systems.  ned uses
the upas/fs to serve a mailbox and marshall to compose a
message.  we could probably port the latter to unix, but
the former is problematic.

you can change either ed or ned depending on which
you use to read your mail.  acme uses upas/fs but i
don't think it uses ned or ed.  see the comments in
/acme/mail/readme.
