- I am assuming that your problem is that you wanted to post, and not send
- a letter, right?
-
- The solution is simple. Re-edit the file (e command), and then tell the
- editor to save the file somewhere. Then tell nn to forget about
- sending the letter (CNTL-G at the send letter prompt or something like
- that). Then do the post thing, and when nn puts you in the editor,
- pull back your old file.
