I'm not sure that's possible.  Well, it's Emacs; everything is
possible.  But can one have a function run in front of `undo'?  We
don't necessarily know what keystroke the user enters to undo.

We have.  :-)

I tried poking around a bit to see whether we could just narrow
earlier, but Message calls `widen' a few times during setup.  Of
course, these could probably be removed...

Emacs 22 hasn't come up with any new, spiffy things that could be used
to hide text in a buffer?

(For those who don't remember this discussion from earlier iterations:
We want the text to really be in the buffer, so that autosaving etc
works as normal, but it shouldn't be visible to the user.  Using
invisible text is a possibility, but it has shown itself to be
problematic -- people cut'n'paste the surrounding text, and, whoops,
you have lots of text becoming visible after you've posted the
message.

So we need:

1) text in the buffer (probably)
2) that's invisible, and can't be moved around, or yanked, or the like

Probably.)
