Reminder by omission? Hm. Not sure about the efficiency of this
pedagogic concept ;-)

The way Mutt does it:

When you start writing a message you are prompted for the
required stuff, To, Subject; then you edit the message (in
patchbomb's case this would be the intro).

After quitting the editor the menu shows the message details,
including fields that are empty.

... really hard to get a consensus on this, hehe.

... Ok, I don't like pedagogics anyway, let's be mercurialisticly
terse; at least I'll send another version like that. Anything to
get it done ;-)
