Lars meant that he wants to implement a feature so that you can just hit `e', and then Gnus would put the message in the cache for you, and then allow you to edit that cached message. Lars is further asking whether this feature would make you happy. And if it doesn't, why not. I like Lars' idea a lot. It would work in more cases, not only the Agent. kai -- Simplification good!
