Listmates, I am trying to set the default editor for mailx to vi. I have added the following to my .mailrc file: set EDITOR="/usr/bin/vi" Still when I start a message, I get some incomprehensible ed like editor that I can't make heads or tails of. Any ideas of how to make vi the default? From man mailx: EDITOR Pathname of the text editor to use in the edit command and ~e escape. If not defined, then a default editor is used. The setting is formatted the same as my other setting in .mailrc, but I can't make the editor change work. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
