When you launch mail from the shell prompt and get past the subject line, or when you reply to an incoming message, you end up in the ex mail editor. Usually the first thing I do is type ~e which brings up emacs (since my EDITOR valriable is set to emacs in my .mailrc file). Now here's the million dollar question: Is there any way to have mail default to emacs WITHOUT having to type ~e? As a (green) system administrator, such a setting would be invaluable to the more naive users. Cheers! --patrick goebel patrick@casbs.Stanford.EDU
