It would be useful if MD2 had an ARexx command which gave out the filename
for the current message...

I think this is because the have to open the message before you can launch
the external editor - in this scenario, the script won't get to see what
the filename is.

What I do is create a new button on the message list window for "Edit", and
attach the script to it.
