I just tried to supersede a mail article because I screwed up the first time
I sent it. Although the intention is for use in News posting, I wonder if
we should be able to "supersede" a mail article by simply sticking the
article in a mail buffer and let us edit at will.
What happened was that I was dumped into a *Post News* buffer and when I
tried to send a message with no Newsgroup: line, I get and error, of
course.
[This is another reason why we want a uniform mail/news posting interface.]
In the same operation, I noticed that my nnfolder+archive'd article had
been saved before I ran my mail-send-hook, which is ispell-message. As a
result, the outgoing message was saved with my spelling mistooks. I
suppose this is a matter of deciding when the outgoing messages should be
archived. (I have ispell-message in my news-inews-hook as well.)

Well, you can't supersede mail, so it would be wrong for Gnus to
pretend that you can.

I think the message should be archived before it is posted, so perhaps
you can do ispelling in `'gnus-inews-article-hook' instead? (That
hook is run before archiving.)

True, but try to read:

Maybe something for Red Gnus?

Yes, I think this sounds like a good idea. But shouldn't Cancel be
supported as well? :-) "No, I didn't mail you that. Uh-uh. Nope.
Not me."
