Why is it that we cannot edit agentized articles in place?
Are we talking major work to allow that to happen?\Is this something a no-lisp writing but tenacious (semi-literate) user could do inside of a week or two?

The agent is kinda like a local mirror of a remote news spool. I'm
not sure that allowing editing of that mirror would be the cleanest
thing to do. But perhaps we could just allow editing of any arbitrary
message from all read-only servers by just copying over the article
over to the cache, and editing the copy in the cache? That seems like
such an obvious idea that I'm sure it's been implemented already. :-)

I think I lost track of which walnut shell the pea is under..
What actually happens to the message? What happens to the copy? Do
both continue to exist?
