I would like tbe be emacs the standard statup editor in mail, i.e. I would like to type "mail friend" and hop into emacs immediately where I can write my stuff and then exit and mail it. How to do it? I know I can say " mail frriend" and then "~v" but is there a simpler way to do it (in .mailrc?)? Please email answer!!!!! THANKS!

How about a simple shell script:
mail:
emacs /tmp/mail.$$
rmail $1 < /tmp/mail.$$
rm -f /tmp/mail.$$
