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!
