Lines: 9 It sounds like a great idea to have 'F' create a followup including the original article (which of course can be pared down to the relevant part with your editor) and 'f' create a followup that stands by itself. Someone said this came from the "rn" program; if so, hats off to rn. On the other topics, I'm happy to have author_copy and I'd love to see the "REPLACE THIS LINE" get replaced with nothing. It would be nice to expunge the extra Distribution: lines too -- the ones that say something interesting and useful like "net" or "net.all".
