Some clarification to the people in this list.
My first message was intended as a *private* message to Steffen, I'm
getting old and stupid, I just cut and paste the address I found in the
man page overlooking the "lists" word in the address. :-)
The point is my message wasn't intended as a formal bug report or a
feature request. It was a personal message explaining my very
subjective personal point of view. But now that the damage is done I
think I must clarify to the rest on this list commenting myself what I
wrote.

I found out this has nothing to do with NCL, it's an openbsd editline()
issue. I observed similar behavior in ftp(), bc() and other openbsd
base applications (I'm new to openbsd).
So it's not a s-nail bug. In regard to editline(), it lets you edit the
line as expected, I mean it does the job, in fact I prefer it to NCL
since I use vi mode at the terminal. I'm aware that utf-8 in openbsd is
a work in progress (running current here) but I don't miss utf-8 at
command line at all, I use utf-8 only to write emails (Spanish) and for
that I use a text editor (editalong s-nail option).

I don't think it has much sense to discuss if this is or not a bug. If
to add this feature will carry complications for me it's OK not
including it.

Similar to 2nd.

Blah, blah, blah. My personal opinion (by no way I'd post any of this
if I knew it'll end in a mailing list).
So, sorry for the noise.
