+    <para>mailplate currently has a bit of a limitation, or at least I have
+      not figured out a way how to work around it sensibly yet. If you re-edit
+      a message from mutt’s compose menu, it causes mailplate to reprocess the
+      message, which you may not want.</para>
+
+    <para>Similarly, if you find yourself editing messages from the index or

+      the following keybindings in my
