Well, maybe. I find config menus to be infuriating. elm's config files
don't seem to have an awful lot of flexibility either. I have
similar problems with the `tin' newsreader, which I otherwise like.
The best config file edit I ever did to tin was to get it to use
mutt to send mail. That way you get mutt's alias expansion and post-editing
features like PGP, file attachments etc. But I digress ...
