Subject: Pine 3.90 - No Save in Editor

Greetings,

I like Pico fine as an editor, but there are time when I would like to use
an alternate like vi.  No problem you say, because I can set my alternate
editor in my configuration and use it whenever I want...

However, since sometimes, in an effort to do one keystroke I do another, like
CTRL-Z, which causes Pine to crash if I'm Composing new mail with the
internal editor, I would like to be able to save mail that I am composing
periodically.   Unfortunately, Pine doesn't allow you to save mail you
are in the process of composing in the Internal editor.

One solution might be to set my alternate editor to pico (cause I like the
word-wrap) and set the enable alternate editor implicit switch, however,
that precludes me from getting at vi with a handy CTRL-_.

Pine should be more cautious about mail you are in the state of composing;
if it won't autosave it, it should allow you to save it periodically.
