Subject: Suggestion: flag for inclusion of file for edit

It would be *wonderful* if Pine were to have a flag, like Elm's -i
flag, that would allow it to start up in composition mode with a
preloaded file in editing.

This would allow us to use Pine's composition screen to compose
replies to news, even if we do not use Pine's newsreader.  It would
also facilitate the use of Pine for filling out forms to be sent via
email.

It seems like a fairly simple feature change.  In Elm it was added as
part of a mostly bug-fix release, it didn't add much extra code at
all.

Thanks!
