[net.news.b] two things that bug me about 2.10

1. If you have a colon in front of you, and hit interrupt (usually because
   you were trying to stop the article but it had already finished) you get
   "'utcsrgv' ignored" followed by the drivel about what the colon is for.
   (I assume you get whatever your system name is.)

2. When sending a reply or followup with r- or f-, there is no way to
   cancel it partway through. With 2.9 you could simply leave the file
   empty and it would not be sent. Also, when sending a reply it doesn't
   go through the normal mail interface, so you have no opportunity to
   put on a Cc (such as to yourself).

Am I missing something on point 2, or is that just how it is?
