   Ctrl-Q does different things in FSEditor and SlyEdit.. Ctrl-Q quits (aborts)   
   in FSEditor, while Ctrl-Q toggles the quote window in SlyEdit.

   Why will the users be stuck with the internal editor?  Why not make Nano and   
   other editors availeble for any users to use?  I think it's good to let users   
   have a choice of their preference of message editor.
