Re: MH VI BUG?

david,

  the answer to your question is in the FAQ (frequently asked
  questions) document that comes out once a month in comp.mail.mh
  (as well as news.answers).  you can find it by searching for "FAQ"
  in the subject lines.  if the FAQ is somehow no longer on your
  system, complain to your news admins about expiring articles
  with Expire headers in them.

  if you cannot find the FAQ on your system, you can obtain it
  yourself.  the FAQ can be ftped:

  pit-manager.mit.edu   [18.72.1.58]    /pub/usenet/news.answers/mh-faq
                                        /pub/usenet/news.answers/nn-faq

  if you don't have FTP access, you can request a copy of the FAQ by
  sending mail to mail-server(_at_)pit-manager(_dot_)mit(_dot_)edu containing 
one (or
  both) of the following:

        send usenet/news.answers/mh-faq
        send usenet/news.answers/nn-faq

  next time, please consult the FAQ first.  but for this time, here is
  the relevant section of the FAQ to answer your question.  so that i
  can improve the FAQ posting, if you received any answers that you
  think are better than this one, please forward them to me.  or, if
  you had looked at the faq already and didn't find what you were
  looking for, please tell me how i could have made the information
  easier to find.  thanks!

Subject: What to do with "Problems with edit - draft removed" messages.
From: Using MH-26

  If your users are using an AT&T version of "vi", it's exiting with
  non-zero status (supposedly a count of the "errors" during the edit).
  Move "vi" to "broken_vi" and put it its place:

        #! /bin/sh
        /usr/ucb/broken_vi $*
        exit 0

  Then complain to your vendor that "vi" is broken, and they should
  fix it.  --John Romine
