After sending my lengthy response, I realized that you might have
actually been talking about the minor fixups that happened, and missed
the "correct" 2/2 which was sent later in the thread. So following this
are the most up-to-date versions. 1/1 is the same as the original, 2/2
does Teemu's "let user set subject in editor" suggestion, plus the
follow-on syntax fixup.
