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.
