I wonder is it possible to compose or reply simultaneously many messages.
I find it useful, especially on dial-up machines when you want to write many
messages offline.
It seems that currently usage of single draft file or @ file prevents
multithreading usage??

You can have a "drafts" folder.  That allows many mails to be
in process of editing concurrently.

You may not have seen the online "MH & nmh" book, Denis.  It explains
stuff like this in detail.  http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mh/book/
(and mirrors, some possibly linked from its out-of-date home page).

"@" will refer to the most recent message that is being replied to.
There is only one of those.

I think there can be one "@" link in each directory, can't there, Neil?
So if Denis starts composing draft 1 in directory "foo", then does
"cd bar", he can compose draft 2 there and the "@" will be linked to
the correct message??

By the way, Denis, these "@" links will disappear and will *not* be
re-created if you quit composition (with:  What now? quit) and start
again later (with:  comp -use -draftmessage n).
