subject: Scratchpad Echo

I have a little bit of a logistical quandary here.

I have a few corespondents, who I've worked up a voluminous exchange with.
When I get my mail, I pound out the quick replies. If the big posts aren't
answered in the same package, they can get lost in an old QWK file, under
many number of other QWK files, and are too often missed because I didn't
have the time to compose a reply to them that day.

I used to use BW in place of GoldEd, where the fluidity to read markers,
rather than finality of closed mail bundles was nice. Is there a way, to (I
don't know...) compose a reply to a scratchpad - other than save them as a
text file, and import them back to the echo whence they came? If IRR, I had
a "scratch" echo on my board years ago, where I could work on
these epic messages, without sending a half composed, not proofread message
back to the corespondent.

Do I remember right, that there was a system, that would toss, and squish
messages from OLM files, as if we were a point? Just some way, to keep
these half composed messages in an active packet, yet not queued for
uploading...
