Hi Ken,

prompter is what i was thinking of.
Well remembered. I've used that too a long time ago.
For quick short emails I prefer the imperative style of giving
recipients and subject on the command line rather than interactive of
being prompted as that's a bit slower.
i could say ^D and something would ask "What now?" and i'd give it
some instruction that would _then_ start my visual editor of choice.
Like `~e' or `~v' escapes, for ed(1) and vi(1) at the start of a line
when entering body in mail(1) to upgrade when editing is required.
i think it should still be prompter, so that we have no editor
assumption or dependency.
That sounds reasonable to me. Thoughts, objections?
+1. It also matches
