By accident I found a feature of Yarn that I have not heard
about before, and I belive many don't.

It is possible to make a reply (r) to the outgoing mail - using 'f'!

Here is how:
Mail someone so that you have something as outgoing mail.
Now retreive that message from your outgoing mailbox.
That is from the Newsgroup selection level: 'R', Enter, Enter)
Then press 'f' (yes: 'f' as in foxtrot - without the 's)

! A window pop's up with the name 'Reply To', asking who shall
be mailed: The sender or all recipients. Give an answer
and you get into the editor, and when you leave it, you can send
your *f-reply* away.

The same would happen, if one takes an original
message from a folder, and makes a reply ('r').
(In this case things work as expected :-)

The funny thing is that one in the former case onely 'f' works,
'F','r','R' do not, AND that the effect of 'f' is just like what
I would expect if I used 'r' instead. I have no idea why things
work like this in this case, and would just assume that 'f'
should not work either in this case (or that I missed something).

It makes no sense to me, but anyway: It works!

Isn't Yarn amazing :-)
