Now that you quote it, I definitely remember saying it. And as I most recently hinted, I still don't have EDITOR/VISUAL set; I've now set the editor in the mh profile. > But to be fair, we did have a reasonable discussion about this change > (that it seems we all forgot about). Yes, indeed we did. Thanks for reminding me. It's amazing that it only took 6 years for me to finally get impacted by the results of the discussion! Watch out debian, if you think you have stable releases that live on forever, watch out for nmh as a contender. Andy
