If you're a long-time MH user, I admit that I am surprised you never set anything in your profile; it seems like the default was prompter for a long time (although, like I said earlier, that depends on your specific site configuration; if people used the default configuration shipped in MH 6.8 you ended up with vi). I know I've been using Editor: vi in my .mh_profile for approximately forever. EDITOR/VISUAL support is a recent nmh thing. --Ken -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
