One of our users brought to my attention that ucbmail offers the ~p escape
to let you read the mail you are composing, but this doesn't output through
the pager so a long message scrolls off the screen. Whereas the Sun version
of the program does use the pager and the "crt" variable on ~p. How about
somebody who's more competent than I adding this feature to ucbmail?
I'd rather not taint the BSD sources by copying in that section from
Sun's AT&T-derived sources.
