Subject: [End of Message] indication.

Please show the End-of-Message signal as soon as the last page of the
message is displayed.  This will save me pressing the space bar to be 
sure that I'm at the end.  

I would suggest the following.
  - If the entire message fits on one screen, show:    [ All ]
  - Moving down, when last screen is displayed, show:  [ End ]
  - Moving up, when first screen is displayed, show:   [ Top ]

In all cases:
  - display the signal at the bottom of the screen, in reverse video;
  - display the signal as soon as the condition is encountered,
    do not wait until I try to move beyond the end/top of the message.

This last is important.  Currently these signals are 'error messages' 
(you tried to read past the end of the message, dummy); if the signals 
were presented -as soon as- the condition occurred, they would become 
'status messages'.  Big difference in subjective feeling! 

THANK YOU PINE TEAM -- when resuming composition of a suspended message,
the cursor is now on the first line of the message, rather that on the
'To:" line.  Thank you much!  -mr

	I hadn't noticed that change.  Definitely an improvement.
