Subject: [sgnus-0.89] compose two messages simultaneously?
Date: Mon, 20 May 1996 15:09:31 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <199605202109.PAA25113@roberts.cdc.noaa.gov> (raw)
Is it possible in sgnus to compose two messages at the same time?
Suppose I'm writing a lengthy diatribe, get bored, read some other
news, see something that begs for a one-word reply and want to post a
quick reply. Right now it appears I have to finish what I'm doing, or
erase the current message. OK, I don't really erase it, I copy it ot
*scratch*, do the quick reply, then reply (again) to the original
article and insert the *scratch* buffer.
But that's ugly, to say the least. So I must either be doing it the
wrong way, or we aren't supposed to do this very often.
I know this functionality was what the draft concept was for, but
that's gone now, right? Would it be a simple (and safe) thing to put
in the ability for message mode to use another buffer, e.g.,
`*message* <2>'?
