no not while vi is open...I mean I am in mutt. I run a macro, asks me
some questions, and passes it right to vi....
well i guess even further is, what are ppl doing when they say they have
soemthing that is being passed through a script....could it be the other
way, the script asking them????
even further on this issue..., i guess I could just make a script and
have it echo to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject ???
