...and completion on pick patterns works too!  great!  thank you for
sharing your thoughts.

i would also like the ability for users to define new patterns and
edit exiting ones w/o having to modify their .emacs file (or some
other file) directly :-) (the sample implementation i sent does not do
this -- it's in the todo.)

actually, is there some sort of mew-config.el?  something that would
let users configure mew (and may be im) through a mechanism like forms
mode (or may be customize?).  if there were something like that,
perhaps new patterns could be created or existing patterns edited.

is there any interest in something like this?  or any suggestions on
what would be good approaches?
