As long as we're listing wishes, I'd love to see a way to use Elm as my mailer from within rn (by setting rn's MAILPOSTER variable) rather than having to live with Rnmail. I realize this is a chore, but it would be a worthwhile one, I think, especially since Elm is so great for keeping one's outgoing mail in a tidy place. -- ==Jess Anderson===Academic Computing Center=====Univ.
