Is there any hope of getting a line-oriented mode in elm, similar to mailx but with Elm's features? Over a slow line (and 'slow' changes hourly... once I had a direct 1200 connect and I was in heaven, now I have a remote 2400 connect and it's too slow!) the screen mode is uncomfortable to use due to the cost of hopping into and out of 'less' and the consequent repaints. -- Peter da Silva `-_-' Ferranti International Controls Corporation.

I'd like to see this too, but only for the rare times that I use a terminal without cursor addressing or am logging an entire session to a printer or disk file from a PC terminal emulator. If you set the pager and editor to "builtin" and do not return to the index screen at the end of each message (the same commands are accepted by the builtin pager) the only extra overhead is the first and last screens.
