This is a very good idea that fits right into the functionality of the
"C-c '" command, so I have added it there.  If you now press "C-c '" in
a region of lines starting with a colon, you get to edit this region in
artist-mode.  Also, if you press these keys in an empty line, a new
drawing is created.

I always wanted to have drawing in some way and even did some  
experiments
years ago - but I did not know of artist-mode.

Thanks for the ideas!

P.S. I believe that also the strikethrough problem is fixed by now.
