Yeah, I tried it quickly and it seems simple enough. And people who
have editor in their profile or use EDITOR/VISUAL won't notice a
change.
Under what conditions will this change? I have neither EDITOR/VISUAL nor
profile settings for editor, but maybe that won't matter because my
usage patterns will never invoke prompter?
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.
