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>'? -- -mb-
