In the end: I agree here, solving the --mta issue removes the need for an --edit option. --mta can also be hacked to pipe to a file, using `--mta "tee %(to)s"`, which is kind of horrible, but works (and is used in the unit tests). (Actually, the unit tests use "dd status=none of=%(to)s", to avoid dumping the message on the terminal.)
