This is only as an option in addition to a set of "supertopics", such
as HELP, MAIL, X11 and MODEM. 

To many people asking questions about a particular item, say smail, it
shouldn't be too much of a problem.

And if we got this topic thing working, it should be a smaller matter
to add some support, at least to the more sophisticated mailers (such
as emacs), so that the MUA could prompt for the topic.
