I generally compose long messages in a text editor so I can see the message I am responding to and have all the 'bells and whistles' for spell checking, etc. available before I copy/paste into a message for the NGDF.
I have never understood with all the ballyhoo of multiprocessing that programs get more and more bloated adding in 'features' instead of a suite of programs that are all dedicated to doing one thing well that can interact easily. Silly, eh?
