I think that it's really bogus that M-f is bound to a discuss command
(discuss-fref) when in a discuss meeting buffer.

I often want to quote sections of a message when replying to it in
discuss.  Either that, or I want to excerpt sections of a message in
order to save it.  Whenever I try to use M-f to move forward a word, I
get zonked back to the fref.

I'd say that discuss shouldn't tamper with cursor-motion commands,
especially if it's only tampering with some of them.  Put M-f on C-c
C-f or something.  How often does it get used, anyways?
